Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool clinch historic Wimbledon men's doubles title
Jonny Marray, Neal Skupski and Henry Patten 12 months ago have all been home winners at Wimbledon in the last 15 years, but all with foreign partners.
Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool are the 2025 Gentlemen's Doubles Champions! 🏆
With a 6-2, 7-6(3) victory over Rinky Hijikata and David Pel, the pair become the first all-British team to win a Grand Slam men's doubles title since 1936 🇬🇧

Cash and Glasspool are the first all-British pairing to win the title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey lifted the trophy in 1936.
'When you say that it sounds incredible,' said Glasspool. 'It's been one Brit (winner) the last couple of years, now we've given you two Brits.'
Cash and Glasspool have dominated on the grass this summer and, following titles at Queen's and in Eastbourne, have now won 14 straight matches.
'We've played a crazy amount of tennis on grass, there was a lot of pressure on our shoulders,' added Cash.
'It means the world. Our team backed us all the way. To do it here is incredible.'
In the men's wheelchair doubles final, Britain's Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid lost their title.
The six-time winners and top seeds were upset 7-6 (1) 7-5 on Court One by Martin De La Puente from Spain and Dutchman Ruben Spaargaren.
'It's an incredible feeling to be out here on an iconic court like this,' said Hewett, 27.
'We've got our hands on the trophy a couple of times before, but win or lose it's always a special feeling playing on home turf.'
Scotland's Reid, 33, added: 'Obviously we are really disappointed. It wasn't our best performance today but we have to say congratulations to Martin and Ruben.'

Emma Raducanu crashes out in straight sets in Montreal
Raducanu had won both of their previous meetings, but rarely looked like extending that run as she held her serve just once in either set. Wimbledon finalist Anisimova came from 40-15 down to break Raducanu's serve in the second game of the match and, although the British number one broke back immediately, she was unable to fashion another break point in the contest. Amanda Anisimova hits a return to Emma Raducanu (Christinne Muschi/The Canadian Press/AP) Anisimova broke again to make it 3-1 and added a third break to wrap up the set. Her dominance continued in the second set as Raducanu won just eight points on her own serve, avoiding the whitewash after losing the first five games before Anisimova served out for a place in the fourth round. She will face 10th seed Elina Svitolina or Anna Kalinskaya in the last 16. Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek needed little more than an hour to complete a 6-2 6-2 victory over Germany's Eva Lys, but Jessica Pegula's bid for a third straight Montreal title was ended by world number 386 Anastasija Sevastova. The Latvian, a former world number 11 who has had lengthy spells out on maternity leave and with a torn ACL, beat the third seed 3-6 6-4 6-1.
