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.

They lost a tight first set on a tie-break, with a key break of serve at the end of the second allowing Lammons and Withrow to serve out a 7-6 (3) 6-3 victory.

Defeat ends Salisbury’s US Open interest following an equally-surprising first-round defeat in the mixed doubles alongside Gabriela Dabrowski.
