Grand Slam

“It’d be a dream come true” - Julian Cash & Lloyd Glasspool on what it would mean to win their first Wimbledon title

• 3 MINUTE READ

Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool made history by becoming the first all-British doubles to reach the Wimbledon final in 65 years and will bid to be crowned champions in Saturday's title decider.

It marks the first time either player has reached the final of a Grand Slam, and they’ve done so in impressive fashion – dropping just one set across five matches so far.

The pair will now look to re-write history as they bid to become the first all-British team to win the men’s doubles title at The Championships since 1936.

After booking their spot to a first Grand Slam final following a dominant 6-3, 6-4 win over Roland Garros champios and fourth seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos on No.1 Court, we caught up with Cash and Glasspool who were brimming with excitement after breaking new ground as a doubles partnership.

“It's been a fantastic day,” Cash said reflecting on their semi-final win. “We absolutely loved going out on No.1 Court to a packed crowd. Our family and friends were there, we've loved the day and it’s nice to come through a match unscathed. We’re ready for what's next - we’re looking forward to Saturday.”

Cash and Glasspool have undoubtedly been the in-form doubles pair this grass court season. The duo – who have already hauled four ATP-tour level titles together in 2025 - got their grass court campaign underway at the Libema Open where they narrowly lost out on the title to Australia’s Matt Ebden and Jordan Thompson in the final.

From there, they went on to clinch back-to-back titles at the HSBC Championships and Eastbourne to cement themselves amongst the favourites to lift the crown at the All England Club.

In beating top seeds Granollers and Zeballos, the British-duo have extended their win streak to 13 matches and have racked up an impressive 16-1 record on grass this year.

Speaking on how important their campaigns at Queen’s and Eastbourne were to building their form and confidence heading into The Championships, Glasspool added, “I think they're invaluable. You can never discount wins, it means so much to get over the line consistently.

“It becomes a little bit of a habit; you get used to pressure situations in the big moments. We were definitely confident before those wins anyway, but this has really made us believe that we can go all the way in Wimbledon for sure.”

Cash and Glasspool will now have the opportunity to do what few players get a chance to do but what many dream of achieving - contesting a Grand Slam final on Centre Court at Wimbledon.

The pair are set to take on the unseeded duo of David Pel and Rinky Hijikata on Saturday 12 July on Centre Court, ahead of the women’s singles final. The Dutch, Australian duo have displayed true grit across their campaign so far, fighting through in three sets and saving to reach the championship match. 

However, the Brits could have an advantage in the final as they’ll be rallied on by a sea of British fans and their family and friends watching on.

“It’s what any Brit dreams of - it’d be a dream come true wouldn’t it? (It’s an) unbelievable court (Centre Court) probably best in the world, in front of all my friends and family. They don’t get to travel much and see me play that much so to do it in front of them would mean a lot for me and a lot to them. 

I think the first Grand Slam, I would take it absolutely anywhere, but the fact we're here at home is very special.

"I think it's going to help us a lot, having that crowd behind us. There's no place that would mean more than here for sure.

“Definitely a lot of maintenance, resting, re-setting," They added, speaking on how they will prepare for the final. "Working a few things, sharpen up a few things, tactically, working on things that we're going to have to put in place in the final, but it'll be quite light - lots of physio work, getting the body of mind ready to go again.

“I think we've got to try and sort out the tickets (for friends and family),” Cash added. ”I haven't looked at the phone yet, but it's going to be a lot (of messages). Today was already pretty tricky to figure out so it's not going to be easy, but either way we'll maximise the tickets we can get.”

With Cash and Glasspool having proved near enough unbeatable this grass court swing, will their scorching form and confidence be able to carry them all the way to a maiden Grand Slam trophy together?
