Horacio Zeballos and Marcel Granollers (No. 1 couple in the ATP ranking) took another very important step at Roland Garros. For the quarterfinals, this Wednesday They defeated Tomas Machac and Zhizhen Zhang 6-4 and 6-1 and advanced to the semifinals.
The dream of winning the first Grand Slam title for the couple that leads the doubles circuit still latent. Despite a complex start, since they started 1-3 in the first set, they managed to recover and then confirmed their level.
The Spanish-Argentine duo was very solid both from the background and from the network and certain small quality details made the difference in the final score.
Curiously, despite years of experience, they have not yet been able to get any trophy at the Grand Slam level, which is why this opportunity, just after reaching No. 1 in the world, excites them again more than ever.
It is worth remembering that In 2021 and 2023 they competed in the Wimbledon final togetherwhile Granollers in 2014 lost the definition in a pair with Marc López at Roland Garros and the US Open.
In the semifinals of this edition of the Parisian Grand Slam, Zeballos and Granollers still do not have confirmed rivalsalthough it could be Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavic, who are already in the quarterfinals, or Stefanos and Petros Tsitisipas, who still have to play in the third round against the French Manuel Guinard and Gregoire Jacq.
