Desirae Krawczyk of the United States and Joe Salisbury of Britain won the mixed doubles title at the French Open.
The pair defeated Russians Aslan Karatsev and Elena Vesnina 2-6, 6-4, 10-5.
Their success finished Britain’s 39-year hang tight for a title at Roland Garros. The last British player to lift a trophy in the tournament’s five main events was John Lloyd in the blended copies in 1982. He played with Wendy Turnbull of Australia.
Both Krawczyk and Salisbury were wiped out in the beginning stages of the doubles tournament in Paris and turned their focus to the mixed doubles.
