Marcel Granollers, 38 years old, he took a step closer to his dream of winning a Grand Slam title ending a great professional career, first in singles and then in doubles, a modality in which he established himself as one of the great ones.
His Argentine partner Horacio Zeballos, 39 years old, continues to go from strength to strength. A great personal relationship that can be seen on the track. After making history by rising to world number one, at the Madrid tournament, as they confirmed themselves as champions of Rome, they are also well positioned at Roland Garros.
Granollers and Zeballos defeated the Czech Tomas Macac and the chinese Zhizhen Zhang by 6-4 and 6-4, qualifying for the semifinals. Four wins, all in two sets and with a lot of points. Their streak is twelve unbeaten games, since in the ‘semi’ in Madrid they withdrew due to an injury to Zeballos and then continued the streak in Rome, which is also growing in Paris.
They still don’t have a next rival, who will come out of the fray Arevalo-Pavic and the survivors of the delayed round of 16 sibling rivalry Chillies and the french Guinard-Jacq.
“Tennis gave me more than I expected. I don’t have any thorn in me. If it comes, the better,” said Granollers, who together with Zeballos lost two Wimbledon finals (2021 and 2023) and another at the US Open, the summer of 2019, when their union began.
In 2014 the Catalan lost at Roland Garros and the US Open, although there were Marc Lopezwhere he became Masters champion in 2012.
Granollers, who has a brother as coach Gerard, has 26 doubles titles in 55 finals. The Davis Cup also appears in its history.
