Since 2021 Cabral focused his professional career on doubles and in that year he won a record of six Challenger doubles titles partnering with Nuno Borges.[4]
In May 2022, he reached the top 100 in doubles after a semifinal [5][6] and first ATP 250 final showing at the 2022 Estoril Open with Borges as a wildcard pair, where they defeated the top seeded pair Jamie Murray and Michael Venus en route. They became the first Portuguese pair to reach and win the final at their home tournament, doing so on their ATP doubles debut.[7][8][9][10] In July, Francisco Cabral won his second title at the 2022 Swiss Open in Gstaad, this time pairing with Tomislav Brkić.[11]
