Cash/Glasspool triumph in win-or-go-home battle, set all-British SF clash in Turin

It was win or go home in Thursday’s evening doubles match at the Nitto ATP Finals, and Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool rose to the occasion, ousting Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos to claim second in the Peter Fleming group.

With their 6-3, 7-5, victory, Cash and Glasspool set an all-British semi-final showdown against Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski. Applying pressure on return throughout the match, the top seeds earned a crucial break at 5-5 in the second set before serving it out to avoid any late drama.

“We knew it was going to be a very tough match,” Cash said. “They’re definitely one of the most in-form teams. They haven’t played a lot of tennis, but when they’ve been on the court, they’ve won pretty much everything. We expected them to play as well as they did and we fought very deep in the big moments and managed to come out on top.”

Glasspool added: “Massive confidence [boost]. I didn’t like the way I played in the first round. The second round was a little better and third, even better, so it’s going in the right direction.”

Qualification secured 🤜🤛

Cash and Glasspool this week clinched Year-End ATP Doubles No. 1 presented by PIF honours, becoming the first all-British team to achieve the feat. Earlier this season, Cash and Glasspool claimed their maiden major title at Wimbledon, where they became the first all-British pair to claim a major men’s doubles trophy since 1936.

Having beaten Granollers and Zeballos in the Wimbledon semi-finals en route to that historic run, Cash and Glasspool are now 2-0 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series against the Spanish-Argentine team, the duo that won this year's Roland Garros and the US Open.

Cash and Glasspool finish the Peter Fleming group with a 2-1 record. They began the week with a loss to home favourites Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori before bouncing back against defending champions Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz. Cash and Glasspool are aiming to improve upon their season-leading seven tour-level titles.
