US Open 2021: Joe Salisbury and Desirae Krawczyk win mixed doubles title

Joe Salisbury has become the first Briton to win two doubles titles at a Grand Slam in the Open era after claiming the mixed doubles title at the US Open a day after winning the men's doubles.

Salisbury and American partner Desirae Krawczyk beat Mexico's Giuliana Olmos and El Salvador's Marcelo Arevalo 7-5 6-2 at Flushing Meadows.

The pair had already won the French Open title this season and Krawczyk also won at Wimbledon with another Briton, Neal Skupski.

While there is huge attention on another Brit - Emma Raducanu in the women's singles - Salisbury now has four Grand Slam titles to his name.
