Historic Wimbledon Victory: Glasspool & Cash Celebrate Doubles Title in Unique Ways

Glasspool and Cash make history as the first all-British pair to win Wimbledon men's doubles in 89 years, celebrating their victory in contrasting styles.

When Julian Cash delivered the decisive overhead smash to clinch the Wimbledon men's doubles title, his partner Lloyd Glasspool's reaction was anything but typical. While Cash erupted in jubilation, Glasspool remained composed, walking calmly to the net to shake hands with their opponents.

A Historic Triumph Cash and Glasspool made history by becoming the first all-British pair to win the men's doubles title at Wimbledon in 89 years. Their 6-2, 7-6 (7-3) victory over unseeded team Rinky Hijikata and David Pel marked a significant milestone in British tennis.

Contrasting Celebrations "My celebration is no celebration," Glasspool remarked. His subdued reaction was a stark contrast to Cash's exuberant leap and fist pump. Glasspool explained that his reserved demeanor stems from his past partnership with Harri Heliovaara, known for his over-the-top celebrations. "I always felt I've got to be the opposite," he said.

Journey to Success The duo's journey to the title was nothing short of remarkable. They had already become the first all-British pair to reach the final since 1960. Their victory at Wimbledon was their third grass-court title of the season, following triumphs at Queen's and Eastbourne.

Future Aspirations Cash and Glasspool have set their sights on the ATP Finals in Turin as their next goal. "We had two goals this year - one was to make it to Turin and the other was to win a Slam," Cash said. "To do it here, it couldn't mean more."

Personal Stories Both players have unique backgrounds. Cash, a late bloomer in doubles, turned professional in 2022, while Glasspool has been competing on the Tour for a decade. Their £680,000 prize money will be put to different uses, with Glasspool considering his mortgage and Cash eyeing a new motorbike.

British Doubles Dominance Their victory continues a trend of British success in men's doubles at Grand Slam events. Since 2012, seven different British men have won Grand Slam men's doubles titles. Cash and Glasspool's triumph at Wimbledon follows Neal Skupski's victory two years ago and Henry Patten's win last year.

Grass Court Mastery The pair's dominance on grass courts this season is evident, with 17 wins and just one loss. "We have played a crazy amount of tennis on the grass," Cash said. "The fact we could do what everyone said we could is surreal."
