NEW YORK — Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury became the second team in the professional era to repeat as US Open men’s doubles champions, beating Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski 7-6 (4), 7-5.

The top-seeded team joined the Hall of Fame duo of Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde in 1995 and 1996 as the only teams to go back-to-back in New York since 1968.

Salisbury ensured he will remain the No. 1 player in the doubles rankings with his 17th straight US Open win, combining men’s and mixed doubles.

Koolhof and Skupski, the No. 2 seeds, were playing at the US Open for the first time as a team.
