Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski to team up after Rajeev Ram split

Occasional Digest - a story for you

British doubles players Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski have agreed to play together on a full-time basis in the 2025 season.

Salisbury, 32, has recently split with long-time partner Rajeev Ram after winning four Grand Slam titles together.

That has paved the way for Salisbury to link up with 34-year-old Skupski, who is also a former world number one and major champion after winning the Wimbledon doubles title in 2023.

The pair represented Britain together at the Paris Olympics, losing in the first round, and also teamed up for the ATP Tour event in Madrid earlier this year.

Their full-time partnership will begin at the start of next season, which gets under way in Australia at the end of December.

Salisbury’s split with veteran Ram was announced by the American earlier this week.

After linking up six years ago, they forged one of the most successful partnerships in the game.

Their first major came at the 2020 Australian Open in their second season together.

Further success came at the US Open, where they won three consecutive titles in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
