Barely a mention of the win on the Beeb's sports web site. In fact, only a footnote to NoDjo's win over Ruud:
It was also a successful day for Britain as Joe Salisbury won the men's doubles event with American partner Rajeev Ram. The US Open men's doubles champions beat Croatian pair Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic 7-6 (7-4) 6-4.
Stuart Fraser has pnly a little more to say in The Times, again at the end of a long article about Novak. . Meanwhile, Joe Salisbury became the first-ever British player to win the ATP Finals doubles.
The 30-year-old and his American partner Rajeev Ram defeated Croatias Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 to share a record doubles prize pot of £780,000. This adds to the £580,000 they earned for winning this years US Open.
"I think it makes it extra special being the first Brit", Salisbury said. "Hopefully there will be many more."
