HotelPlanner, a leading travel technology platform and hotel
booking engine is proud to announce new sponsorships for Joe
Salisbury and Marcus Willis, professional British doubles tennis
players who are playing this week at Wimbledon. HotelPlanner has
also renewed sponsorships with Dan Evans and Arthur Fery.
Born in 1992, Joe Salisbury, a powerful
right-hander with a one-handed backhand, turned pro in 2014 and
became the 2nd British doubles World No. 1 on 4 April 2022 –
exactly 6 years after countryman J. Murray became 1st British
doubles World No. 1 on 4 April 2016. Salisbury went 11-0 at 2021 US
Open alongside Ram in men’s doubles and Krawczyk in mixed doubles,
becoming the 1st player to sweep both titles since B. Bryan in
2010. He extended his US Open win streak to 17 matches overall by
defending title w/Ram in 2022, becoming 2nd repeat US Open men’s
doubles champions in Open Era (also Woodbridge/Woodforde in
1995-96). He also won 2020 Australian Open men’s doubles title
w/Ram, 2021 French Open mixed doubles title w/Krawczyk and ATP
Masters 1000 titles w/Ram at 2021 Toronto, 2022 Monte Carlo and
2022 Cincinnati. Learn more About Joe Here.
Born in 1990, Marcus Willis, currently ranked
No. 96 in men’s doubles, began playing tennis at age 9, and
considers qualifying for 2016 Wimbledon his best achievement in
tennis. Marcus has a fierce left-hand shot with a two-handed
backhand. He has a career high ATP doubles ranking of world
No. 95, achieved on 17 June 2024. Willis made his ATP tour debut at
the 2016 Wimbledon Championships after qualifying for the main
draw, where he gained recognition after playing against Roger
Federer in the second round on Centre Court. Willis resumed
playing doubles on the ITF tour from August 2022. Until May 2023,
he won seven ITF 25k tournaments, six of them with partner Scott
Duncan. On 2 December 2023, he won his first ATP Challenger title
in Maspalomas with partner Duncan. In January, Willis won his
second doubles title on the ATP Challenger Tour in Oeris,
partnering with Jay Clarke. He reached the top 100 on 17 May 2024.
He won five further Challenger titles until June. He reached
the top 100 in the doubles rankings on 17 June 2024. He received a
wildcard for the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, partnering with Jay
Clarke. Learn more about Marcus here.
