Argentine tennis player Horacio Zeballos and his Spanish partner Marcel Granollers progressed this Tuesday to the semi-finals of the doubles draw at Roland Garros, the second Grand Slam of the year, after beating Dutchman Wesley Koolhof and Britain’s Neal Skupski 3-6 , 6- 3 and 6-4.
Zeballos, born in Mar del Plata and sixth in the world double ATP rankings, and Granollers (7), took an hour and 55 minutes to qualify for the semifinals.
The man from Mar del Plata and the Catalan will play the next match against the winners of the crossover which will later encourage the top favorites for the title, the English Joe Salisbury and the American Rajeev Ram, against the Croatian Ivan Dodig and the American Austin Krajicek.
Zeballos, 37, has won 18 titles in his doubles playing career and has also reached the finals of the 2019 US Open and Wimbledon 2021, both times with Granollers as his partner.
