British doubles players Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski have agreed to play together full-time in the 2025 season.
Salisbury, 32, recently split with longtime partner Rajeev Ram after winning four Grand Slam titles together.
That paves the way for Salisbury to win the Wimbledon doubles title in 2023, partnering Skupski, 34, a former world number one and major championship champion.
The pair played together for Great Britain at the Paris Olympics, where they were eliminated in the first round, and also teamed up at an ATP Tour event in Madrid earlier this year.
Their full-time partnership is due to begin at the start of next season, which gets underway in Australia at the end of December.
Salisbury’s split with veteran Ram was announced by the Americans earlier this week.
Since joining forces six years ago, they have built one of the most successful partnerships in gaming.
Their first major came in their second season playing together, when they won the 2020 Australian Open.
He has had further success at the U.S. Open, winning it three years in a row in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Reaching the world number one ranking and winning two end-of-season ATP Finals were also testaments to their success.
“Joe and I have had some great wins, some epic games and moments and some heart-breaking losses,” Lamb, 40, said.
The pair started the 2024 season by winning the ATP 250 title in Adelaide and then reached the final of the Montreal Masters, an ATP 1000 tournament, in August.
But they were unable to add to their trophy haul, failing to get past the quarterfinals at any of the four Grand Slam tournaments this year.
The two teams are ranked as the 11th best in the world this season.
Their final tournament as a team was the US Open, where they won three consecutive titles but lost in the third round.
