Granollers and Zeballos are making their fourth appearance as a team at the prestigious year-end event. They advanced to the semi-finals in 2020 and 2021, but fell in the round-robin stage 12 months ago.

Earlier this year, Granollers and Zeballos lifted their eighth trophy together in Shanghai, while they advanced to the title match at Wimbledon.

Gonzalez and Roger-Vasselin are making their team debut at the Nitto ATP Finals. The Mexican-French team are seeking their sixth title of the year, having won the trophy at the Rolex Paris Masters last week.
