NEW YORK : Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury rallied from a set down to beat Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden 2-6 6-3 6-4 on Friday to win an Open-era record third straight U.S. Open men's doubles title.
Bopanna and Ebden dominated the first set, breaking serve in the opening game of the match and capturing it with a love hold. But Ram raised his level from there and the duo finally broke serve when Bopanna's forehand sailed long for a 4-2 second set lead before they levelled the contest at a set a piece with an ace from Ram out wide.
