Three-time US Open Champion Joe Salisbury joined me before the start of this year's tournament to discuss his athleticism, doubles partnership with Neal Skupski, college tennis experience, and more.

Tomorrow, Joe and Neal play in the US Open Final on ESPN. Here's what we discussed before the tournament.

Attributes his exceptional athleticism to his parents and playing multiple sports growing up
Credits natural instincts and mobility work for his remarkable court speed and movement
Explains how he and Neal Skupski overcame early challenges through patience and communication
Emphasizes college tennis at Memphis as crucial for his development as both a person and a player
College tennis as a viable pathway, especially for doubles
His different mindset approach to mixed doubles versus men's doubles
Shares a thoughtful perspective on the US Open mixed doubles format
Focuses on winning major tournaments rather than specific ranking goals for 2025

Joe is one of the ATP tour's most dynamic and entertaining players. Watch him tomorrow as he goes for his fourth US Open title and follow him throughout the rest of 2025.
