Congratulations to Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool on winning the Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Doubles title yesterday. See highlights here. Here’s some background on a Tennis Sussex success story.

Julian, 28, is from Burgess Hill and is a mad keen Brighton & Hove Albion fan.

Cash & Glasspool won the final 6-2, 7-6 vs Rinky Hijikata and David Pel with one double fault and just four unforced errors across two sets.

They are the first all-British pair to win the men’s doubles title at Wimbledon for 89 years.

In the quarters, at 5-6 0-40 on his serve, in the deciding third set, Julian successfully defended three match points vs Patten & Heliovaara.

Cash & Glasspool have now won Queens, Eastbourne and Wimbledon in succession. Neither player had previously gone beyond the quarters of a major.

They are currently #1 in the ATP race for the end of season finals in Turin [November 2025]

Julian came through the Tennis Sussex county development groups, although he skipped a couple of age groups because he was playing Open men’s competitions at 13. He still helps coach the county juniors in doubles technique.
