While Bopanna, 43, made his fourth year-end appearance, Ebden played at this stage for the first time. The duo first teamed up at the start of this season and enjoyed an impressive year together, winning tour-level trophies in Doha and Indian Wells.
Bopanna and Ebden had the chance to be the year-end ATP Doubles No. 1. Had they beaten Granollers and Zeballos, they would have passed the already-eliminated Dodig and Krajicek, who are in top spot.
