Salisbury’s disappointment was arguably mitigated by his victory earlier today with Ram, who was in the stands at Court 3 to support his partner in the mixed semi-finals.
After losing 3-0, Ram and Salisbury fell back in Game 5 and again broke serve in the ninth to lead 5-4. Salibury served the set comfortably, with Ram in volley a forehand winner to seal it.
The second set did not feature a single breaking point, with a tie-break needed to separate the two teams.
Here, the defending champions stepped up, while Soares in particular fell away; he played a backhand into the net to give Ram and Salisbury a 4-2 lead, stole a long forehand to give them a bunch of match points and double faulted the first of them for give victory to Ram and Salisbury.
