Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos saved three match points on their way to a dramatic 3-6, 7-6(4), 7-5 win over British pair Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski in the U.S. Open men’s doubles final on Saturday to seal a second Grand Slam title this year, Reuters reported.
The fifth-seeded Spanish-Argentine duo reaffirmed their dominance over the sixth seeds, who they beat to claim their first major together at the French Open in June before ousting them again in the Wimbledon quarterfinals a month later.
“It was an amazing battle,” 40-year-old Zeballos said. “These matches are so unfair when there is a winner and a loser. The guys (Britons) did great, and they also deserved to win, according to Reuters.
