Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek upset defending champions Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram to win the Australian Open men&rsquo;s doubles title on Sunday.
The Croat-Slovak pair, seeded nine, proved too strong for the British-American fifth seeds, winning 6-3, 6-4.
&ldquo;Amazing memories. This is our first Grand Slam as a team and we&rsquo;re having a lot of fun. I hope it continues.&rdquo; said Dodig. The win deprived Salisbury and Ram from becoming the first pair to successfully defend their crown in Melbourne since Bob and Mike Bryan won three in a row (2009-11). It also put an end to Ram&rsquo;s hopes of leaving Australia with two titles after he claimed the mixed honours on Saturday with Barbora Krejcikova.&nbsp;
Polasek became only the second Slovak to win a Slam title, after four-time mixed champ Daniela Hantuchova.
