Cabral/Miedler upset Cash/Glasspool to clinch Brisbane crown

Francisco Cabral and Lucas Miedler have quickly picked up where they left off in 2025.

The Portuguese-Austrian duo on Sunday downed top seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool 6-3, 3-6, 10-8 at the Brisbane International presented by ANZ to claim their second consecutive ATP Tour crown. Cabral and Miedler, who finished last season by lifting an ATP 250 trophy in Athens, secured the title with an 84-minute victory in Queensland.

“I think after the preseason we just kept doing what we did before,” said Miedler. “We had a great run before the break as well, and obviously we worked well in the offseason. The first tournament is never easy, but we just tried to focus on our strengths and it got better from match to match. I think today was a really great level from all four guys and we are just happy to have the win here.”

Starting the new season with a bang 🏆

Third seeds Cabral and Miedler converted both break points they earned according to Infosys ATP Stats, en route to victory against the 2025 Year-End ATP Doubles No. 1 presented by PIF-winning duo of Cash and Glasspool. It was their fourth ATP 250 title together since they first debuted as a team last April in Marrakech.

“Of course we want to keep working, keep winning matches and keep playing better at the bigger tournaments,” said Cabral. “It’s going to be our first year playing all the Masters 1000s and having a little bit higher expectations at the Grand Slams, so we hope to perform there and hopefully at the end of the year we will try to be in Turin for the first time.”

Musetti/Sonego triumph in Hong Kong
Lorenzo Musetti bounced back from singles final disappointment on Sunday at the Bank of China Hong Kong Tennis Open, where he teamed with fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego to down Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev 6-4, 2-6, 10-1.

Musetti lost to Alexander Bublik in singles but returned to court an hour later and left with a smile on his face following an entertaining doubles final at the ATP 250. Musetti and Sonego found their best level in the Match Tie-break to earn the crown. The triumph marked Musetti's first doubles ATP Tour title, while Sonego is now a three-time champion.
