Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram Cruise into Wimbledon Doubles Second Round
On the fourth day of the prestigious Wimbledon Championships, Britain’s Joe Salisbury and his American partner Rajeev Ram have confidently secured their place in the second round of the men’s doubles event. The third-seeded duo prevailed in a straight-set victory, defeating Casper Ruud of Norway and American William Blumberg by a score of 7-5, 6-4 on Court 11.
Salisbury and Ram, who have previously won four Grand Slam titles together, including the last three US Open championships, have yet to progress beyond the semi-finals of the men’s doubles competition at the iconic Wimbledon tournament. However, their performance on day four suggests they are determined to make a deep run this year.
British Players in Action
Alongside the Salisbury-Ram match, there are a total of 15 doubles matches featuring British players on the schedule for today. One of the highlights is the highly anticipated encounter between wildcards Andy Murray and Jamie Murray, the legendary British brothers, and their Australian opponents, Rinky Hijikata and John Peers. This clash will take place as the final match on the prestigious Centre Court.
“It is worth noting that this year’s Wimbledon Championships marks the final appearance of former world number one and three-time Grand Slam champion, Andy Murray, who will be retiring from professional tennis later this year.”
