Salisbury on teaming with Ram after claiming Australian Open Men's Doubles title: "It's been an honour to play with you"

Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury claimed the Australian Open 2020 men's doubles titles on Sunday with the 11th seeds beating Max Purcell and Luke Saville in the final.

Salisbury spoke about playing with Ram after the final and said that he never thought he'd be winning a title like this when they started teaming. Ram himself reacted and spoke about what it meant to final claim a men's doubles title at the Australian Open.

“I don’t think I thought when I asked you to play just over a year ago that we’d be standing here now, but it’s been an honour to play with you,” Salisbury said to Ram during the on-court trophy ceremony. “It’s been so much fun to have you as my partner and as my friend. Thank you so much for being the best partner I could get.”

“To actually finally get one is great,” said Ram, who switched to playing doubles full-time in 2017. “But it doesn't feel like it's been the same level of intensity as it has been last three or four years.”
