Britain's top doubles duo, Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, have achieved a remarkable double of claiming the Wimbledon men's doubles title and securing the year-end world number one ranking. The British pair, who became an all-British team in the Open era by lifting the Queen's trophy earlier this year, have formed a formidable partnership that has paid dividends.
The 29-year-old Cash, who only started playing doubles full-time last year, credits Louis Cayer, Britain's renowned doubles coach, for transforming him into one of the world's best players. Glasspool, 32, also praises Cayer for instilling discipline and communication skills in him, as well as providing video analysis that helps them mentally prepare for big matches.
Cash and Glasspool's partnership has resulted in four Grand Slam titles, including a historic win at Wimbledon, where they defeated American duo Reilly Opelka and Alexei Popyrin in the final. Their success has also led to them becoming the first all-British team in 89 years to reach the men's doubles final at Wimbledon.
The duo's rise to the top of the world rankings has been swift, with Cash and Glasspool rising from outside the top 100 last year to become the new number one pair. Their dominance has also inspired a new generation of British tennis players, including Henry Patten, who won the Turin tournament alongside Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara.
However, despite their success, both men are keen to take a break and recharge before the upcoming season. Cash is set to miss his friend's celebratory dinner at London restaurant due to pre-booked holiday in Tenerife but will celebrate separately with golf and padel. Glasspool jokingly said that everyone will be there except for Jules.
Next year, preparations for the new season will begin in early December at the National Tennis Centre. The duo is looking forward to sitting down and setting goals for next year, reflecting on their successful spell and enjoying some well-deserved rest.
