Joe Salisbury, a well-known British tennis player, accomplished an astounding achievement in April 2022. He became the second British doubles world No. 1, following in the footsteps of his countryman Jamie Murray, who achieved the same feat on April 4, 2016. Salisbury has won 14 ATP doubles titles to date, and is currently ranked No. 6 by the ATP.

Before turning professional in 2014, Joe Salisbury played college tennis for the Memphis Tigers. Inte­restingly enough, his journey to colle­ge tennis embarke­d upon a unique path.

However, head coach Paul Goebe­l took a leap of faith and offered Salisbury a spot at the University of Me­mphis, a decision that ultimately served as a critical turning point in Salisbury's tennis career.
