like legends Lis Arilla and Manolo Orantes, his parents and his brother and coach Gerard. Also an Olympic medalist in Barcelona-92 as Jordi Arrese. The Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET), with its president Miguel Diaz in front, paid tribute this Friday, at its headquarters in Barcelona, Marcel Granollerswho at 38 years old became the second Spaniard to reach No. 1 ATP world doubles, then Emilio Sánchez Vicario.
He did it together with his teammate, the Argentine Horacio Zeballoswith whom he will attempt to attack Roland Garros, although it will be with another Spanish teammate who he will try later in the same place to fight for a medal in Paris 2024.
At his insistence marcel, without an emergency. “Tennis has given me more than I expected. I am very calm with what I have done. What I want is to sleep peacefully when I leave tennis, and I think I will achieve that,” he said.
Its continuation is planned every year. The results are helpful. Masters champion with Marc Lopez, also from the Davis Cup and with 26 doubles titles and 4 in singles, he ran away from the Grand Slam crown five times. “I don’t have a thorn. If it comes, so much the better. The spirits are the best for Roland Garros, we are No. 1 and we won Rome, but there is a lot of equality.”
Between a ‘good’ and an Olympic medal, “both are on the same level. Hopefully one of the two will come. At Paris 2024 the pair formed Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz. The pair is missing Marcel Granollers, which will come from the rest of the team. “I agree with the couple Rafa and Carlos. They have maximum options. “It’s about finding two couples with good choices.”
This is one of the topics that will be discussed with the Spanish captain and coach, David Ferrer, during Roland Garros, which is the destination of its usual Grand Slam, but also of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
