Champions crowned in US Open doubles competition
Spaniards Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos Triumph at US Open Men's Doubles
Marcel Granollers, a 39-year-old Spaniard, and his 40-year-old compatriot Horacio Zeballos have claimed the US Open men's doubles title, securing their second Grand Slam victory of the year.
The final match against Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski ended in a thrilling three-set battle, with Granollers and Zeballos emerging victorious by a score of 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), 7-5. The triumphant duo took home the prestigious title and a hefty prize of $1 million.
The US Open men's doubles tournament awarded a total of 3300 ranking points, with the winners receiving 2000 points and the runners-up receiving 1300. The tournament, held in New York City, was the final Grand Slam event of the season.
The finalists had a close encounter in the third set, with Salisbury and Skupski holding three match points. However, they were unable to convert any of them, allowing Granollers and Zeballos to clinch the victory.
This victory marks the second Grand Slam title for both Granollers and Zeballos in 2021. They previously won the French Open earlier in the year. The US Open title also makes them the champions of two out of the four Grand Slam tournaments held in 2021.
It's worth noting that the men's doubles title at the 2022 US Open was won by Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram. This information is based on the absence of the 2022 winners in the cited 2025 and 2024 data, as well as the fact that the 2025 men’s doubles champions are Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.
Granollers and Zeballos have now joined the ranks of illustrious doubles champions, adding their names to the prestigious list of US Open winners. Their journey to the top of the doubles game is a testament to their resilience, skill, and unwavering determination.
