Joe Salisbury’s US Open invincibility is over after he finally lost in the men’s doubles.
Salisbury and American partner Rajeev Ram were on a 20-match winning streak that had seen them claim the 2021, 2022 and 2023 titles in New York.
Seeded third, they would have been hopeful of extending their run against American pair Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow on Grandstand but slipped to a surprise loss.
Defeat ends Salisbury’s US Open interest following an equally-surprising first-round defeat in the mixed doubles alongside Gabriela Dabrowski.
