Britain’s Joe Salisbury is through to his first Grand Slam final after he and Rajeev Ram won their men’s doubles semi-final at the Australian Open.

The 11th seeds beat Alexander Bublik and Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 4-6 6-3 6-4 on Margaret Court Arena.

Salisbury and American Ram got the decisive break at 4-4 in the final set when Bublik served five double faults.

They will face Australian wildcards Luke Saville and Max Purcell in the final on Sunday (04:00 GMT).

Having dropped the opening set, Salisbury and Ram got the early break in the second before serving it out.

They fell 3-1 down in the decider before winning five of the last six games.

Salisbury previously reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2018 alongside Denmark’s Frederik Nielsen.

“There was more belief that we could go further,” Salisbury said of his and Ram’s run to the final in Melbourne.

“I have more self-confidence and confidence in ourselves as a team.”

Meanwhile, Jamie Murray and his American partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands face Australian duo John-Patrick Smith and Astra Sharma in the semi-finals of the mixed doubles on Friday.
