French Open: Joe Salisbury & Desirae Krawczyk make mixed doubles final

Joe Salisbury is a match away from ending Britain's 39-year wait for a main-draw French Open title after making the mixed doubles final with American Desirae Krawczyk.

"That would be pretty amazing," said Salisbury of a possible title.

"I didn't realise it was that long since somebody had won it."

The last Briton to win one of the five main events at Roland Garros was John Lloyd, who partnered with Australian Wendy Turnbull in the mixed doubles in 1982.
