Brits rule the roost, end 89-year wait with historic win

Fifth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool capped their dream summer with the Wimbledon crown and first Grand Slam title as a pair when the British team downed Rinky Hijikata and David Pel 6-2, 7-6 (7/3) in the men’s doubles final on Saturday.

Queen’s Club and Eastbourne champions Cash and Glasspool became the first all-British pairing to win the All England Club trophy since 1936, when Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey defeated their compatriots Charles Hare and Frank Wilde in the final.

“When you say it, it sounds incredible,” said Glasspool.

“We've had a Brit win it last year [Henry Patten], the year before that [Neal Skupski] so I didn’t think too much of it, but now we needed to give you two so we did our best.”
