Already-eliminated Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek are currently first. Gonzalez and Roger-Vasselin can also finish the year in top spot if they win the trophy. Bopanna and Ebden are now out of the race.

"We tried to think that every match was a final because every match was against a great team," Zeballos said on their run. "We tried to be positive and offensive and it is working so far so we will try the same tomorrow."

Earlier this season, Granollers and Zeballos clinched the crown at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Shanghai. Granollers, 37, is chasing his second title at the year-end event having triumphed with Marc Lopez in 2012.
