MEMPHIS, Tenn. – For the second time in his career, former Memphis men's tennis standout Joe Salisbury has won a Grand Slam championship.
Salisbury and his playing partner Desirae Krawczyk defeated Aslan Karatsev and Elena Vesnina (2-6, 6-4, 10-5) to claim the mixed doubles title at the French Open on Thursday.
A native of London, England, Salisbury is the first British player in 39 years to win one of the five main draw events at Roland Garros. He previously won the Australian Open men's doubles championship in 2020 alongside Rajeev Ram. The pair also finished runner-up at the same event in 2021.
