Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool have etched their names into Wimbledon history, becoming the first all-British pair to win the men’s doubles title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey in 1936.

In a thrilling final on Centre Court, the fifth seeds defeated the Australian-Dutch duo of Rinky Hijikata and David Pel 6-2, 7-6 (3) in 83 minutes. “It still feels like we have got a match tomorrow,” said Cash. “We’ve been playing so well recently, winning so many matches. It’s so special but it hasn’t sunk in yet.”
