Joe Salisbury (/ˈsɔːlzbəri, ˈsɒlz-/ SAWLZ-bər-ee, SOLZ-;^[1] born 20 April 1992) is a British professional tennis player who is a former world No. 1 in doubles.

He is a six-time Grand Slam champion, having won the 2020 Australian Open and the 2021, 2022 and 2023 US Opens in men's doubles with Rajeev Ram, as well as the 2021 French and US Opens in mixed doubles alongside Desirae Krawczyk. Salisbury also finished runner-up at the 2021 Australian Open in men's doubles and the 2021 Wimbledon Championships in mixed doubles, with Ram and Harriet Dart respectively. In April 2022, Salisbury became the third British world No. 1 in either singles or doubles, after Jamie and Andy Murray.^[2] He has won 17 doubles titles on the ATP Tour, including the 2022 and 2023 ATP Finals and three at Masters 1000 level.

Salisbury made his Davis Cup debut for Great Britain in 2021 and also competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics alongside Andy Murray.

Salisbury is from Putney in southwest London.^[3] He went to King's College School, Wimbledon, leaving in 2010. He trained at the Sutton Tennis Centre under Jeremy Bates and played college tennis at the University of Memphis.^[4]

Salisbury represented the Memphis Tigers from 2010 until his graduation in 2014. As he had experienced injury problems during his junior career he was not heavily recruited by American colleges and the decision to offer him a spot at Memphis was a "gamble" on the part of head coach Paul Goebel.^[5]

Salisbury finished his college career with 97 doubles wins with his partner David O’Hare, the most in school history, and his 25 singles wins in his final year was also a Memphis record at the time.^[5]

Salisbury made his ATP Tour main-draw debut at the U.S. National Indoor Championships partnering David O'Hare, losing to the Bryan brothers in the first round.^[6]

He reached the semifinals in the Wimbledon men's doubles with Frederik Nielsen.^[7]

Playing alongside Ben McLachlan, he won his first ATP Tour doubles title at the Shenzhen Open.^[8]

At Wimbledon in 2019, he played alongside Rajeev Ram during the men's doubles. They made it to the round of 16.^[9]

Also with Ram, Salisbury won the 2020 Australian Open, beating wildcards Max Purcell and Luke Saville in the final.^[10][11]

He competed in the Australian Open with partner Rajeev Ram to defend their title, but they lost to Ivan Dodig and Filip Polášek in the final.^[12]

He won the mixed-doubles title at the French Open with Desirae Krawczyk.^[13][14] He also reached the mixed doubles final of the 2021 Wimbledon Championships partnering Harriet Dart.^[15]

Salisbury won his first Masters 1000 in Canada at the National Bank Open with Ram, defeating world No. 1 and No. 2 Croatians, Pavic and Mektic, his second final for the year at a Masters level after the Italian Open, where they lost to the Croatian pair.^[16]

At the US Open Salisbury partnering with Ram reached the final, defeating Max Purcell/Matthew Ebden in match lasting more than three hours match with three tiebreaks, saving four match points in the quarterfinals^[17] and Sam Querrey/Steve Johnson in the semifinals.^[18] The pair won the men’s doubles championship, defeating Jamie Murray/Bruno Soares in the final. It was the first time in the Open Era that two Britons met in a major men's doubles final and the first time in 12 years that the US Open men’s doubles final went to a deciding set.^[19] Seeded second, he also won his second mixed-doubles Grand Slam title at the US Open, again with Krawczyk, defeating Marcelo Arévalo and Giuliana Olmos in straight sets. He became the first man since Bob Bryan in 2010 to win the US Open doubles and mixed titles in the same year.^[20]

At the San Diego Open, Salisbury won his eighth title and third of the season partnering Neal Skupski.^[21]

At the Miami Open, Salisbury and Ram reached the quarterfinals, losing to eventual champions Hubert Hurkacz and John Isner. Following this result, Salisbury became the new world No. 1 in men's doubles on 4 April 2022. He became the second British man to be doubles number one, after Jamie Murray.^[22] He won the 2022 Monte-Carlo Masters with Ram defeating sixth seeded pair of Robert Farah and Juan Sebastian Cabal.^[23] The duo reached the semifinals at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, losing to Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell in five sets.^[24]

Salisbury and Ram had a successful summer hardcourt season, winning the 2022 Western & Southern Open^[25] and clinching their third Grand Slam title together while defending their title at the 2022 US Open with a straight-sets win over second seeds Neal Skupski and Wesley Koolhof.^[26][27] They became just the second team to repeat as men's doubles champions at this Major in the Open Era other than Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde who went also back-to-back in New York.^[28] Salisbury and Ram ended the year by winning the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, beating Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic 7-6, 6-4 in the final.^[29]

Salisbury and Ram became the first team to win three successive US Open men's doubles titles in the Open Era when they fought back from a set down to defeat Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden 2-6 6-3 6-4 in the final at Flushing Meadows in September.^[30]

Two months later, the pair successfully defended their ATP Finals doubles title by beating Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in straight sets in the final in Turin, Italy.^[31]

Salisbury and Ram began the 2024 season by winning the Adelaide International.^[32]

He represented Great Britain at the Paris Olympics but went out in the first round of the men's doubles with Neal Skupski^[33] and mixed doubles with Heather Watson.^[34]

Back alongside Ram, he reached the final of the Canadian Open in Montreal but lost to top seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in straight sets.^[35]

At the US Open, Salisbury and Ram went out in the third round to Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow, suffering their first loss at the tournament in four years after a run of 20 successive wins.^[36][37] On 25 September, Salisbury and Ram announced they had ended their partnership.^[38][39] The following day, Salisbury revealed he would be playing alongside fellow Briton Neal Skupski during the 2025 season.^[40]
