"Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski will bid to become the first all-British pair since 1903 to win the US Open men's doubles title after securing their place in Saturday's final. Sixth seeds Salisbury and Skupski, who only teamed up at the start of the season, battled back from a set and a break down to win 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (7-5) 6-4. The pair are bidding for their first Grand Slam title together, having suffered defeat at the French Open."
"Salisbury and Skupski have both featured in the final of the US Open men's doubles before - but not on the same team. Salisbury won three successive US Open titles alongside American partner Rajeev Ram from 2021-23, including beating Skupski and Dutchman Wesley Koolhof. They would be the second all-British pair to triumph at a major this year after Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool won the Wimbledon doubles title."

Salisbury previously won three consecutive US Open doubles titles with Rajeev Ram from 2021 to 2023. An all-British doubles major was also achieved this year by Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool at Wimbledon.
