Overview
- Horacio Zeballos clinched the ranking move by beating Hugo Nys and Édouard Roger-Vasselin 6-3, 7-6 (3) with Marcel Granollers in the Miami Open quarterfinals.
- The result means he will stand alone at No. 1 when the ATP’s weekly doubles list updates next Monday, marking his 23rd week at the top.
- The long-time partners now face Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten for a place in the Miami final.
- At 40 years and 337 days, Zeballos becomes the third-oldest doubles No. 1 in history, trailing only Mike Bryan and Rohan Bopanna after passing Daniel Nestor.
- Projected totals place Zeballos at 8,690 points to Skupski’s 8,550, with Granollers 90 behind because he did not play with Zeballos in Toronto.
