Cash & Glasspool win Wimbledon, become first all-British major titlists in 89 years

Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool capped one of the most dominant grass-court swings on Saturday by claiming the Wimbledon title.

The British pair extended their winning streak to 14 matches with triumphs at Queen’s Club, Eastbourne, and now a maiden major crown. Cash and Glasspool defeated Rinky Hijikata and David Pel 6-2, 7-6(3) in the final, becoming the first all-British team to win a major men’s doubles title since 1936.

“We’ve played a crazy amount of tennis on the grass, every match we possibly could,” Cash said during the trophy ceremony. “A lot of people were talking coming into this event, there was a lot of pressure on our shoulders. And the fact that we are able to do what everyone was talking about is surreal.”

Glasspool added: “We had a Brit win last year, and the year before, so I didn’t think too much of it. We’ve given you one Brit the last couple years, now we need to give you two. So we did our best.”

Cash and Glasspool’s winning streak was in jeopardy in the quarter-finals, in which they needed to save three match points to sink defending champions Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten. The duo is now first in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Rankings, with five trophies this season. They are aiming to make their debut at the prestigious Nitto ATP Finals.

“It’s something we spoke about coming into the year. We had two goals. The first one was making it to Turin and the other one was to win a Slam,” Cash said. “A lot of people probably wouldn’t have believed us, neither of us had been past a quarter-final coming into this year. But our team backed us the whole way. We put so much effort in. To do it here, couldn’t mean more honestly.”

In front of a full Centre Court crowd Saturday, the home favourites dropped just five points behind their first serve (33/38) to secure the victory in one hour, 23 minutes.
