Historic Achievement in Tennis
In a historic achievement, Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool have made a mark in tennis history as they became the first all-British duo to secure a spot in the men’s doubles final at Wimbledon since the Open era began. Their path to the final was solidified with a decisive win against fourth-seeded players Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, ending the match 6-3, 6-4.
Impressive Victory
This impressive victory was highlighted by their serving prowess, delivering an astounding 11 aces without allowing any from their opponents on a sweltering day on Court One.
Breaking the Drought
Cash, aged 28, and 31-year-old Glasspool not only broke a 63-year drought but also rose to prominence after recently claiming the men’s doubles title at both the Queen’s tournament and Eastbourne events, setting the stage for their Wimbledon run. Their achievement at Queen’s made them the first all-British pairing to win there since the Open era, which began in 1968.
Path to the Final
In fact, they started their Wimbledon campaign strong by eliminating the defending champions, Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara, along the way.
Looking Ahead
As they gear up to face Dutch player David Pel and Rinky Hijikata from Australia in the final on Saturday, Cash and Glasspool are keen to capture their first Grand Slam title together. Recent years have shown a trend of success for British pairs in men’s doubles, with Patten and Heliovaara clinching the title last year and Neal Skupski securing victory the prior year with Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof.
