First set to Jamie and Bruno....6-3 :thumbup: :thumbup: :)

[david1610]

First set to Bruno and Jamie in the final! And they get a double break at the end of the set so will be serving first in the second! :)

[Jane]

Ouch - Jamie broken! :sad:

[JAMES4578]

Missed bps in the opening game but that was a high quality set from Jamie and Bruno, still a long way to go though and some great returns give Salisbury/Ram break at start of 2nd.

[clancy]

Joe and Ram take the 2nd.

[JAMES4578]

All seems io be going Joe and Rajeev's way now as thet break for 2-0 in 3rd, come on Jamie/Bruno!

[Sallydaisy]

Salisbury/Ram get the early break, against the Murray serve, to go 2-0 up in the 3rd set.

:trophy::trophy:
Joe Salisbury & Rajeev Ram take the US Open Mens Doubles Title for the first time.
3-6, 6-2, 6-2
It's their 2nd Grand Slam title after winning the AO 2020.

Shame for Jamie & Bruno but they only got back together recently so haven't had as much chance to work on their renewed doubles partnership.

And the 3rd! Shame there had to be losers in this all Brit final but congrats to Joe and Ram (don't know his first name!) x

[RosieBear]

Brilliant decider, some stunning points. Big congrats Joe and Rajeev :trophy: Thought they would edge it and am pleased they did, they've been in-form all year. Disappointing for Jamie and Bruno to be outclassed today but a great run to the final after bit of a slump and much to be positive about.

[JAMES4578]

Joe and Rajeev just too strong in the end, a high level in the decider- well done! Disappointed for Jamie/Bruno but match turned in middle of 2nd and thereafter they were often under pressure on serve. Still done well to get to final though after not a lot of success after reaching Aus semis,especially as Bruno was only been able to practice for a few weeks beforehand following his surgery.

[Jan]

Well done Joe and Rajeev! They just had too much for Jamie and Bruno.

[banskogirl]

Aw shame a team had to lose but great they all got to the final :grouphug:

:bravo: Well done to Joe and Rajeev! Great tennis, especially in the 3rd set! How can everyone not love doubles?!

[RoastLamb]

Wow Joe really picked it up in the second set. Steamrolled the rest. Both great teams tho'. I did not realize that Bruno had had appendicitis in Tokyo. He did amazing to come back to get to the USO final!
