Marcel Granollers Pujol (born April 12, 1986) is a professional tennis player from Spain. He is amazing at doubles, which is when two players team up on each side of the net. On May 6, 2024, he became the world's No. 1 doubles player! This was a huge achievement, and he was only the second Spanish man to ever do it. The first was Emilio Sánchez Vicario way back in 1989.

Marcel even won a Grand Slam title, which is one of the biggest prizes in tennis. He won the 2025 French Open in doubles with his partner Horacio Zeballos. In singles, where he plays alone, his best ranking was No. 19 in the world, which he reached on July 23, 2012.

Throughout his career, Marcel has won 34 big tournaments called ATP titles. Four of these were in singles, and an incredible 30 were in doubles! One of his major doubles wins was the 2012 ATP World Tour Finals with his fellow Spanish player Marc López. He's also played in the final match of five other Grand Slam doubles tournaments. These include the French Open and the US Open in 2014 with López, and the 2019 US Open, 2021 Wimbledon Championships, and 2023 Wimbledon Championships with Zeballos.

Personal Life

Marcel Granollers isn't the only tennis player in his family! His brother, Gerard, also plays tennis. The two brothers have even teamed up to win five doubles titles in Challenger tournaments, which are like stepping stones to the main ATP tour.

Career Journey

Early Career: Making His Mark (2006-2007)

2006: Climbing the Ranks

In 2006, Marcel Granollers started to make a name for himself. He played in the main part of the famous Wimbledon tournament for the first time! He had to win three qualifying matches to get into the main tournament. Although he lost in the first round, it was a big step. By the end of this year, he was ranked among the top 200 players in the world.

2007: Doubles Success and Moving Up

The next year, in 2007, Granollers showed his talent in doubles. He won three Challenger doubles tournaments: one in Naples and one in Rome with his partner Flavio Cipolla, and another in Maspalomas with Marc López. At the 2007 French Open, he and Feliciano López reached the second round in doubles after a close match. In singles, he kept trying to get into the main draws of big tournaments. By the end of 2007, he had broken into the top 150 players.

Big Breakthroughs (2008-2010)

2008: First Singles Title and Davis Cup

2008 was a fantastic year for Granollers! He played in the Australian Open singles tournament for the first time. Later, at a tournament in Acapulco, Mexico, he reached the quarterfinals. The biggest moment came on April 20. Granollers won his first ever ATP singles title at the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston, USA. In the final match, he beat James Blake, who was ranked No. 8 in the world at the time! It was an amazing victory, as he even saved two match points in the semifinals. This great year also saw him chosen for Spain's Davis Cup team for the final. Rafael Nadal, Spain's top player, couldn't play, so Granollers got the call-up. Even though he didn't play any matches in the final, being part of the winning team was a huge honor. He finished the year ranked in the top 60.

2009: Doubles Specialist

In 2009, Granollers continued to shine in doubles. He won three ATP doubles titles!

  • He won the 2009 Brasil Open with Tommy Robredo.
  • He won the 2009 Copa Telmex in Buenos Aires with Alberto Martín.
  • He won the 2009 Kremlin Cup in Moscow with Pablo Cuevas.

These wins helped him enter the top 25 in the world doubles rankings for the first time.

2010: Amazing Comeback and Singles Final

One of the most memorable matches for Granollers in 2010 was at the 2010 Australian Open. He played against Robin Söderling, who was ranked No. 8 in the world. Granollers was losing by two sets, but he made an incredible comeback to win the match in five sets! Later that year, he reached his first final in a bigger singles tournament, an ATP 500 event, at the Valencia Open in Spain.

Reaching New Heights (2011-2012)

2011: First ATP 500 Singles Win and Top 30

2011 was another strong year for Granollers in singles. He reached the fourth round of the Miami Masters, a big tournament. In July, he won his second career singles title at the Swiss Open in Gstaad. He beat tough players like Stanislas Wawrinka and Fernando Verdasco to win. At the US Open, he reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time, which helped him break into the top 30 singles players in the world. The highlight of his year came in November at the Valencia Open. He won the tournament, defeating Juan Mónaco in the final. This was his first ATP 500 singles title. On his way, he beat four top-20 players like Gaël Monfils and Juan Martín del Potro. Granollers said, "Winning here has been the biggest achievement in my whole career." He also helped Spain win the Davis Cup again, playing doubles in the quarterfinals.

2012: Top 20 in Singles and World Champion in Doubles

In 2012, Granollers continued to improve. He reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam singles tournament for the first time at the French Open. This success helped him reach his career-best singles ranking of No. 19 in the world on July 23, 2012. But 2012 was truly special for his doubles play with his Spanish partner Marc López. They had an amazing year:

  • They won the Italian Open, a prestigious Masters 1000 event.
  • They won the Swiss Open doubles title.
  • Their biggest win was the ATP World Tour Finals! This event features the year's top eight doubles teams. They beat Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna in the final, becoming the first Spanish pair to win since 1994.

Granollers and López also represented Spain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Consistent Success (2013-2014)

2013: Doubles Star and Another Singles Title

Granollers' doubles success continued into 2013. On February 25, he reached his highest doubles ranking yet, becoming World No. 4. In singles, he won his fourth ATP title at the Kitzbühel Open in Austria. He also had a good run at the US Open, reaching the fourth round for the first time at that tournament before losing to the world's No. 1 player, Novak Djokovic.

2014: Grand Slam Doubles Finals

In 2014, Granollers and Marc López had more great results in doubles. They reached the final match at two Grand Slam tournaments:

  • The French Open
  • The US Open

Although they didn't win these titles, reaching two Grand Slam finals in one year is a huge achievement. They also played in the ATP Finals for the third year in a row.

Focus on Doubles and Masters Success (2015-2018)

During these years, Granollers focused more on doubles. In 2016, he reached the singles quarterfinals at the Monte-Carlo Masters as a "lucky loser" (getting in after another player withdrew). His main successes came in doubles:

  • He reached the final of the Italian Open in 2015 and again in 2017 with partner Ivan Dodig.
  • He also reached the final of the Paris Masters in 2017 with Dodig.
  • In 2018, he won the Paris Masters doubles title with American player Rajeev Ram. This was his second Masters 1000 doubles title.

A Powerful Partnership with Zeballos (2019-2021)

Starting in August 2019, Granollers teamed up with a new doubles partner, Horacio Zeballos from Argentina. They quickly became one of the best teams in the world!

  • Together, they won six titles in this period.
  • They reached their first Grand Slam final as a team at the 2019 US Open.
  • They won four Masters 1000 titles:
    • The 2019 Canadian Open
    • The 2020 Italian Open
    • The 2021 Madrid Open
    • The 2021 Cincinnati Masters

This success helped Granollers get back into the top 10 doubles rankings in 2019, and then into the top 5 in 2021. They also reached the 2021 Wimbledon Championships final, facing the world's No. 1 team.

Continued Success and ATP Finals (2022-2023)

2022: Strong Grand Slam Showings

In 2022, Granollers and Zeballos continued to play well. They reached the semifinals at two Grand Slam tournaments: the Australian Open and the French Open. They also reached five Masters 1000 quarterfinals and qualified for their third straight ATP Finals. This was Granollers' seventh time at this special event.

2023: 25th Title and Another ATP Finals Final

The success kept coming in 2023!

  • Granollers and Zeballos reached the semifinals at both the Australian Open and the French Open for the second year in a row. At the French Open, they beat the top-seeded team.
  • They won the Shanghai Masters, their fifth Masters 1000 title as a team. This win helped Granollers get back into the top 10 doubles rankings. This was Granollers' 25th career doubles title.
  • They qualified for their fourth straight ATP Finals (Granollers' eighth time) and reached the final match.

Reaching the Top and Grand Slam Glory (2024-2025)

The years 2024 and 2025 marked some of the biggest moments in Marcel Granollers' career.

2024: Road to World No. 1 and 500th Win

  • Granollers and Zeballos started 2024 strong, reaching the final at the Indian Wells Masters.
  • At the Miami Open, Granollers achieved a huge milestone: he recorded his 500th career win in doubles!
  • Their amazing play continued, and on April 22, 2024, Granollers reached a new career-high doubles ranking of World No. 3.
  • Just a short time later, after reaching the quarterfinals at the Madrid Open, both Granollers and Zeballos moved up to No. 2 in the world.
  • Then, on May 6, 2024, Marcel Granollers became the World No. 1 doubles player, sharing the top spot with Zeballos! This was a dream come true.
  • They then won the Italian Open, their sixth Masters title as a pair.
  • They also won the Canadian Open, which was Granollers' ninth Masters title overall and their tenth as a team.
  • At the 2024 French Open, they reached the semifinals for the third year in a row.

2025: French Open Champion!

The ultimate dream for any tennis player is to win a Grand Slam. In 2025, Marcel Granollers achieved this!

  • He and Horacio Zeballos reached the final of the 2025 French Open. This was their fourth Grand Slam final together.
  • In an exciting final match, they defeated Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski with a score of 6–0, 6–7(5–7), 7–5.
  • This was Marcel Granollers' first-ever men's doubles Grand Slam title! It was also Zeballos' first. This was a sweet victory, as Granollers had been a runner-up in five previous Grand Slam doubles finals.

How Marcel Plays Tennis

Marcel Granollers is especially good at doubles because of his strong serve and great skills when he's close to the net (called net skills). These abilities help him and his partner control the game. When he hits the ball from the back of the court (these are called groundstrokes), his shots might not be as powerful as some other players. However, they are steady and help him play good defense. One thing people notice when Marcel plays is his grunt, which is the sound he makes when he hits the ball. It can be quite loud, and sometimes people have talked about it because of its volume and when it happens during matches.

Significant Finals

This section lists the biggest finals Marcel Granollers has played in during his career. These include Grand Slam tournaments (the four most important events in tennis), the year-end championships (where the top players and teams compete), and Masters 1000 events (the next most important series of tournaments).
