Joe Salisbury has found a new doubles partner after his hugely successful journey with Rajeev Ram came to an end.
Salisbury and Ram have parted ways after six years together, having won four Grand Slam titles, including three consecutive US Open trophies.
The former world number one duo also won the Australian Open, along with back-to-back ATP Finals titles in 2022 and 2023.
But Salisbury and Ram recently failed to make it beyond the quarter-finals of the four Grand Slams, most recently losing in the third round of the US Open.
Neither player has detailed the exact reason behind their split, with the major decision likely to have been made with heavy hearts.
Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski to partner in 2025
Ram will already be in action with a different partner at the China Open, where he will link up with compatriot Austin Krajicek.
Salisbury meanwhile has wasted no time in finding a replacement for the 2025 season, with the LTA confirming his partnership with fellow Briton Neal Skupski.
How will Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram react after their split?
It remains to be seen how Salisbury and Ram react after the split, with six years certainly representing a very long time in tennis.
The latter has the chance to prove himself immediately with Krajicek in Beijing, with the American duo taking on Wesley Koolhoff and Nikola Mektic in the opening round.
They do boast a strong connection already, having won silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics before going 3-0 to help the USA reach the Davis Cup Finals.
Skupski is also in action at the China Open in Beijing, where he is partnering with New Zealander Michael Venus.
The pair do, however, have a very tricky task on their hands given that they have drawn Italian pair Lorenzo Musetti and Flavio Cobolli in round one.
Ram certainly isn’t the only American star to be involved in a recent high-profile split, with Coco Gauff having parted ways with Brad Gilbert.
