Joe Salisbury, the British doubles tennis star, is set to embark on a fresh journey in 2025 as he joins forces with compatriot Neal Skupski. This exciting partnership comes after Salisbury’s incredible run with American veteran Rajeev Ram, which saw them dominate the doubles circuit for several years that included four grand slams.

After honing his skills at the University of Memphis, where he had a stellar college career, Joe burst onto the professional scene with a bang. His partnership with Ram proved to be a match made in tennis heaven, as the duo clinched multiple Grand Slam titles, including triumphs at the US Open and Australian Open. They also reached the pinnacle of the sport by claiming the year-end World No. 1 ranking and winning the prestigious ATP Finals in 2023.

However, 2024 proved to be a challenging year for the pair. As Ram approached his 40s, the rigors of the tour began to take their toll, and their results started to dip. It was clear that a change was on the horizon, and Salisbury has found an exciting new partner in Neal Skupski.

Skupski himself is no stranger to doubles success. The Liverpool-born player has been a fixture in the top echelons of doubles for years, with multiple Masters 1000 titles to his name and a 2023 doubles Wimbledon crown with recently retired Wesley Koolhof. Known for his quick hands at the net and tactical acumen, Skupski’s game should complement Salisbury’s power and versatility beautifully.

With their combined skills and experience, Salisbury and Skupski have the potential to become a dominant force on the doubles circuit. It’s a new chapter for both players, and fans can’t wait to see how this story unfolds on the courts around the world.
