Liverpool’s Davis Cup star Ken Skupski teamed up with younger brother Neil this summer – and together the Mossley Hill duo believe they can quickly climb the world rankings
“Grand slams is the goal,” said Ken, 30. “We would have to do something significant this year to have a good opportunity to play all the big tournaments next year, so I would say it’s more or less unlikely that we’ll get to play in Australia.
“But we could be in a situation where, 12 months from now, we could be playing in the French Open together – and Wimbledon for sure because we are British and would have a good chance of a wild card.
“We are working hard to get our ranking up as soon as possible. Fortunately I’m already at a high rank so I can get Neil into bigger events that he wouldn’t necessarily get in to against a player of a similar ranking. The brothers, represented now by Northern Vision are currently playing at Guzzini Challenger, Italy reaching the final after beating the number two seeded Mirzadeh/Zivkovic. The greatest doubles partnership in world tennis are brothers – the renowned Bryan brothers – while John McEnroe played with brother Patrick and Andy Murray has partnered brother Jamie many times.
