Ram-Salisbury Retain US Open Men's Doubles Title

NEW YORK: American Rajeev Ram and Britain's Joe Salisbury beat Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski 7-6(4), 7-5 on Friday to become only the second pair to retain the US Open men's doubles title.

Playing in their fourth US Open together, Ram and Salisbury have enjoyed plenty of success at Flushing Meadows.

They reached the semi-finals in 2020 before claiming back-to-back titles on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court to join the Australian duo of Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde in 1995-96 as the only pair in the Open era to stage a successful defence.

As expected, a final pitting number one seeds Ram and Salisbury against number two pairing Dutchman Koolhof and Briton Skupski was a tight affair from start to finish. Agencies
