MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Former University of Memphis men's tennis player Joe Salisbury and doubles teammate Frederik Nielsen were kings of the tiebreaker in a 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-3, 7-6 (1) victory over the sixth-seeded team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah, Monday, in the Wimbledon Gentlemen's Doubles Third Round. With the victory, Salisbury becomes the first former Memphis men's tennis player in program history to advance past the third round of the Wimbledon doubles event.
