Personal life

Granollers' brother Gerard is also a tennis player, and they have won five Challenger doubles titles together.

Career

2006: Breaking top 200

Granollers made the first round of the Wimbledon tournament in 2006, but lost to Andrei Pavel. In the qualifying rounds, he beat Stéphane Robert, Konstantinos Economidis and Marco Chiudinelli.[2]

2007: Breaking top 150

In 2007, Granollers won the Naples and Rome Challengers for doubles with Flavio Cipolla, and the Maspalomas Challenger for doubles with Marc López. At the 2007 French Open, he made the second round of the men's doubles tournament with Feliciano López before they lost in three close sets to the number 4 seeds Fabrice Santoro and Nenad Zimonjić, who won 7–5, 1–6, 6–4. He lost at the French and Wimbledon Championships both times in the second round of qualifying for the main draws.

2008: Breaking top 60 & first singles title

2008 saw Granollers qualify for the Australian Open Singles Draw, but lost to Evgeny Korolev in straight sets in the first round.[3] He reached the quarterfinals of the 2008 Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco, Mexico, an International Series Gold tournament, before losing to José Acasuso 7–6, 6–3. On 20 April, he won his first ATP singles title at the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships, defeating World No. 8 James Blake in the final.[4] He had saved two match points in the semifinals.[5] The previous day, he and Pablo Cuevas lost in the doubles final. Following Rafael Nadal's announcement that he would not play the Davis Cup Final at Argentina on 21–23 November, Spain's Captain Emilio Sánchez announced that Marcel Granollers would replace Nadal. This was Granollers' first Davis Cup appearance, although he did not play any matches.

2009: Three doubles titles, Breaking top 25 in doubles

In 2009, Granollers won three ATP doubles titles at the 2009 Brasil Open, the 2009 Copa Telmex, and the 2009 Kremlin Cup, teaming up with Tommy Robredo, Alberto Martín, and Pablo Cuevas respectively.

2010: First ATP 500 singles final

In the first round of the 2010 Australian Open, Granollers pulled off a remarkable comeback when he recovered from 2 sets down against world no.8 and French Open finalist, Robin Söderling. He then lost to Alejandro Falla in the 2nd round.

2011: Breaking top 30 in singles, First ATP 500 title

Granollers lost in the first round of the Australian Open to eventual champion Novak Djokovic, and he didn't win consecutive matches until the 2011 Miami Masters, where he got to the fourth round.[6]

In July, he beat Stanislas Wawrinka, Mikhail Youzhny, and Fernando Verdasco to win his first title of the year and his second career title at the Swiss Open.[7][8] In the US Open, he reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career, to break into the top 30.[9]

In November, Granollers claimed the title at the Valencia Open by defeating Juan Mónaco in three sets and said, "Winning here has been the biggest achievement in my whole career."[10] He beat four Top 20 players: Alexandr Dolgopolov, Marin Čilić, Gaël Monfils and Juan Martín del Potro en route to the final at the ATP World Tour 500 tournament.[10]

Playing doubles alongside countryman Marc López, he went 3–4 in finals, winning titles at the Italian Open, Swiss Open and the ATP World Tour Finals. Granollers and Lopez were the first Spanish pair to play at the season-ending championships since Sergio Casal and Emilio Sánchez in 1994.[14] They won the title defeating Indian duo Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna in the final.

He also partnered López at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[15]

2013: Success in doubles as World No. 4 & in singles with Fourth title

Granollers reached a career-high ranking of World No. 4 in doubles on 25 February 2013.

He made it also to the fourth round of the US Open in singles for the first time, where he lost to top-seed Novak Djokovic in straight sets.

2014: US & French Open doubles runner-ups, Two Masters semis

In 2014, he had a very consistent doubles performances at the French and US Opens, making the finals at both events with partner Marc López. They qualified for their third consecutive ATP Finals where they lost in the round robin stage for a second year in a row.

2015–18: Second Masters doubles title, Three Masters finals

Granollers suffered a significant loss in form, with only one tour-level late round appearance: the semifinals in Zagreb Indoors losing to Andreas Seppi. His 2015 year-end singles ranking dropped to No. 84.

He reached the quarterfinals of the 2016 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters before losing to Gaël Monfils in straight sets, making the main draw as a lucky loser.

Granollers reached the finals in both the 2015 and 2017 Masters 1000 in Rome. He also reached the final of the 2017 Rolex Paris Masters in doubles with Ivan Dodig and in the following year 2018, he won the Masters 1000 title in Paris with Rajeev Ram.

2019–21: New partnership: US Open & Wimbledon finals, four Masters titles, back to top 5

With his new partner Horacio Zeballos Granollers won 6 titles thus far, starting in August 2019, and also made his first Grand Slam doubles final at the 2019 US Open, losing to the World No. 1 and top seeded pair Farah/Cabal.

The pair won 3 Masters 1000: the 2019 Canadian Open, the 2020 Italian Open and the 2021 Mutua Madrid Open.[16] As a result, he reentered the top 10 in doubles at World No. 9 on 9 September 2019 and No. 7 on 21 September 2020. He also reentered the top 5 on 12 July 2021 following the final at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships where they lost to World No. 1 and top seeds Mektic/Pavic.[17]

In August 2021, they reached a second Masters 1000 final for 2021 and fourth overall at the 2021 Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati defeating Arévalo/Fognini.[18] They defeated Austin Krajicek and Steve Johnson in the final to win their fourth Masters.[19]

2022: Australian & French Opens semifinals, five Masters quarterfinals, Third straight ATP Finals

Granollers and Zebalos qualified for their third consecutive ATP finals, having advanced to the semifinals of the year-end championships in 2020 and 2021. It was Granollers seventh participation.[20]

2023: Two Major semifinals, 25th doubles title, back to top 10

At the 2023 Australian Open Granollers and Zebalos reached back-to-back semifinals.

At the 2023 French Open they upset top seeds Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski to reach also back-to-back semifinals.[21] They lost to eventual champions Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek.

The pair won their first Masters of the season and fifth overall as a team at the 2023 Rolex Shanghai Masters.

Playing style

Granollers' good serve and net skills account for his excellent doubles record. His comparatively technically weak groundstrokes are underpowered with low takebacks on both wings but they provide a decent defensive framework.[22] He is also known for his heavy grunting, so much as to result in ridicule and accusations of gamesmanship due to its loud volume and questionable timing during matches.[23][24][25]
