Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos continue to demonstrate that their success is not just a streak, but one of the most solid partnerships in doubles tennis in recent years. The Spanish-Argentine duo has secured their presence at the ATP Finals for the seventh consecutive season, an extraordinary achievement that highlights the longevity and consistency of two players who continue to compete at the highest level.

Their qualification was confirmed during their participation in the US Open 2026, where Granollers and Zeballos, the reigning champions of the tournament, reached the third round. Their journey in New York began with a victory over Hendrik Jebens and Miguel Reyes Varela, and they then advanced without playing due to the withdrawal of their opponents, Arthur Fery and Joshua Paris, due to injury.

Seven years without missing the appointment

This statistic becomes even more significant when put into perspective. Granollers and Zeballos have been partners since 2019 and have since become a nearly permanent presence in the battle for major titles. They already qualified for the ATP Finals for the fifth consecutive season in 2024, which underscores the continuity they have maintained since then.

And 2026 is proving to be another extraordinary year. In June, they won Roland Garros for the second consecutive season, their third Grand Slam as a pair, after defeating Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten 6-4, 6-2 without dropping a single set throughout the tournament. At 40 years old, Granollers, and 41, Zeballos, continue to defy the logic of an increasingly competitive doubles circuit. Generations have changed, partners have come and gone, and title contenders have emerged, yet they remain in the season's final picture.

Seven consecutive qualifications for the ATP Finals are not just a statistical figure. They are proof of a partnership that, six years after its inception, continues to operate at full capacity.
