About Joe Salisbury

Joe Salisbury grew up in Putney, a part of London, England. He attended King's College School in Wimbledon until 2010. He trained hard at the Sutton Tennis Centre and later played college tennis at the University of Memphis in the United States.

Playing Tennis in College

From 2010 to 2014, Joe played tennis for the Memphis Tigers team. He had some injuries when he was younger. So, not many American colleges were looking to recruit him. However, the coach at Memphis decided to take a chance on him.

Joe became a record-breaker at Memphis! He achieved 97 doubles wins with his partner, David O’Hare. This was the most in the school's history. In his final year, he also set a record with 25 singles wins.

Joe also won his second mixed doubles Grand Slam title at the US Open with Desirae Krawczyk. This made him the first man since 2010 to win both doubles and mixed doubles titles at the US Open in the same year.

World No. 1 and More Titles: 2022
