Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos continued their quest to complete the Canada-Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000 double on Saturday at the Cincinnati Open when they moved past Neal Skupski and Michael Venus 6-4. 6-4.
The top seeds triumphed in Montreal last week and have now won their past seven matches. The Spanish-Argentine team clinched 77 per cent (30/39) of their first-serve points to advance after 79 minutes and set a semi-final meeting with Americans Mackenzie McDonald and Alex Michelsen.
Granollers and Zeballos are chasing their second title in Ohio, having won at the hard-court event in 2021.
In other action, Ivan Dodig and Jamie Murray clawed past Arthur Fils and Nicolas Jarry 2-6, 7-6(5), 10-6. Dodig and Murray are teaming for just the second time and first time since 2021. They have won 56 titles between them.
The Croatian-Briton team will meet Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic in the last four. Arevalo and Pavic eliminated Wimbledon champions Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten 6-2, 6-4. Arevalo and Pavic are currently second in the PIF ATP Doubles Teams Rankings and in a good position to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals.
