Full analysis:

In the semifinals of the doubles event at the French Open, Hugo Nys/Edouard Roger Vasselin will face off against Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos. I favor Granollers and Zeballos in this match.

Nys and Roger Vasselin are a Monaco-French duo, with both players being experienced doubles specialists. Nys, aged 34, is ranked 39th in the world (highest rank: 12th), and has a 23-14 record this year. Roger Vasselin, at 41, is ranked 32nd in the world (highest rank: 6th), with a 19-10 record this year. Together, they have a 20-10 record this year, including wins against Behar/Vliegen, Duckworth/Vukic, Arevalo/Pavic, and Arends/Johnson.

Granollers and Zeballos are a Spanish-Argentinian duo, also specialists in doubles. Granollers, at 39, is ranked 10th in the world (highest rank: 1st), with a 19-5 record this year. Zeballos, at 40, is ranked 11th in the world (highest rank: 1st), with a 20-8 record this year. Together, they boast a 186-87 career record and a 19-5 record this year, including victories over Cabrera/Miedler, Erler/Frantzen, Gonzalez/Krajicek, and Dodig/Luz.

The two teams have never faced each other before. While the odds might not be particularly high, I strongly believe Granollers and Zeballos will make it to the final. Despite going through a slight rough patch, their partnership has remained strong. They have yet to lose a set in this tournament, and while they might have had a bit of luck with the draw, they have still been playing impressive tennis. On the other hand, Nys and Roger Vasselin, while a home duo, have faced more difficult matches. Apart from their win against Duckworth and Vukic, all of their matches went to three sets, which are played traditionally in this tournament. Their victory over Arevalo and Pavic was notable, but they were nearly eliminated in their opening match against Behar and Vliegen.

While I don’t expect an easy match, as it’s a semifinal and both teams are high-quality, I believe the greater cohesion and slightly higher quality of play will be on the side of Granollers and Zeballos. Both of them are seasoned veterans in doubles and might not have many more chances to win another Grand Slam title. I have full confidence they will handle this match.

Good luck
