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 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]
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]
2023: US Open history and Tour Finals double
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]
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]
2025: Two major doubles and Wimbledon mixed finals
In August, Salisbury and Skupski made it to the final at the Canadian Open, but lost to second seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool.[46]
They reached the final at the US Open, but, in a repeat of the French Open final earlier that year, lost to Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in three sets despite having three championship points during the match.[47]
Salisbury and Skupski went unbeaten to top their group at the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin[48] and then defeated world No. 1 pairing Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool in the semifinals,[49] before losing to Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten in the final in straight sets.[50] Two days after the final, Salisbury announced he was taking a break from tennis until at least April 2026 due to anxiety.[51]
