Tennis duo Granollers and Zeballos triumph in a nail-biting US Open men's doubles final
In a nail-biting finale at the 2023 Australian Open, Spain's Marcel Granollers and Argentina's Horacio Zeballos clinched their second Grand Slam title in doubles. The pair defeated Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski in a three-set thriller, with the final score reading 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5.
Granollers, who had lost five previous Grand Slam doubles finals, three of them with his partner Zeballos, expressed his relief and gratitude after the match. "There was nothing we could have done differently to win the match," he said. "The nature of tennis can be unpredictable, and we're just glad we were able to come out on top."
Zeballos, who had also lost three Grand Slam doubles finals with Granollers, echoed similar sentiments. "It's always tough to lose, but in a match as close as this one, it's unfair for there to be a winner and a loser," he said. "We kept fighting throughout the match, and the phrase that describes the match is 'never give up'."
The pair came back from being a point away from losing in the third set, demonstrating their resilience and determination. Their victory marks their first Grand Slam title as a pair, and their second Grand Slam title overall, following their win at the French Open in 2023.
Meanwhile, Murray and Skupski, who had also reached the final of the Australian Open, came close to securing their own Grand Slam title. Skupski, who had won a Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2023, and his partner in the Australian Open final lost the match by just one point.
Salisbury and his partner, who had won four Grand Slam titles in men's doubles, came close to winning a fifth title but fell short in the Australian Open final. Salisbury and his previous partner, Rajeev Ram, had won four Grand Slam titles in men's doubles, including the 2022 Australian Open. Salisbury and his current partner expressed that they did everything they could and competed well in the match.
The search results do not provide information about the training partner of Granollers and Zeballos during their preparation for the Grand Slam winning streak. Regardless, the pair's victory at the Australian Open is a testament to their skill, determination, and resilience on the court.
In conclusion, the 2023 Australian Open doubles final was a thrilling match that showcased the unpredictability and excitement of tennis. Granollers and Zeballos' victory is a well-deserved one, and their perseverance throughout the match is a lesson for all athletes to never give up.
