Britain's Salisbury gets U.S. Open doubles double with mixed title

Krawczyk became only the seventh player in the Open era to win three mixed doubles Slam titles in the same year

Britain's Joe Salisbury completed a U.S. Open doubles double on September 11, partnering with American Desirae Krawczyk to win the U.S. Open mixed doubles final. Salisbury and Krawczyk defeated Mexico's Giuliana Olmos and El Salvador's Marcelo Arevalo 7-5, 6-2 to capture the crown in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Salisbury, who paired with American Rajeev Ram to win the men's doubles crown on September 11, became the first man to capture both doubles crowns on the New York hardcourts since American Bob Bryan in 2010. "It has been such an incredible couple of weeks," Salisbury said. "It has been so much fun. To come away with two titles, I couldn't have even dreamt that. To win the title with Des is amazing."
