Cash and Glasspool win Men's Doubles at Wimbledon 2025
Cash, 28, and Glasspool, 31, had already ticked off an impressive stat before the game even began, as they were the first all-British pair to reach the final since Mike Davies and Bobby Wilson in 1960.
However, they went one step further by going all the way, with a comfortable first set before a slightly nervier second, which they edged out in the tiebreak.

Last month, they also became the first all-British partnership to win the men's doubles title at Queen's in the Open era.
This started in 1968 when professionals were allowed to take part in Grand Slam tournaments.
Speaking with BBC Sport on winning the tournament Cash said: "I mean it's something we spoke about going into the year.
"We had two goals - one was to make it to Turin, another was to win a Slam.
"To do it here couldn't mean more" 🥹
Winning a Grand Slam was one of Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool's goals at the start of the year - and they've got the job done in style at #Wimbledon

"A lot of people probably wouldn't have believed us. Our team backed us all the way.

"To do it here - I mean it couldn't mean more. To do it on the most special court in the world? Incredible."
Meanwhile, Glasspool commented on the fact the pair were the first all-British duo to win the Men's Doubles for 89 years.
He said: "When you say it it sounds incredible. I didn't think too much about it. We've given you one Brit the last few years but now we've given you two Brits."

Dillian Whyte still harbours world title hopes ahead of Moses Itauma clash
After two years in the wilderness, British heavyweight Whyte, 37, was thrown a lifeline earlier in 2025 when he was matched with the division's hottest prospect in Moses Itauma (12-0, 10KOs) on Saturday night in Riyadh. It is the latest hurdle in a life of ups and downs for Whyte, who was born in Jamaica and forced to 'eat from trash cans' before he was brought up in Brixton. Trouble was never far away but kick-boxing and then boxing helped him onto the straight and narrow. Dillian Whyte is still feeling himself 😎#WhyteItauma | Aug 16th | @ringmagazine | #RiyadhSeason — Queensberry Promotions (@Queensberry) August 9, 2025 A career in professional sport has thrown up almighty challenges with Whyte forced to clear his name from drug accusations three times – the latest in 2023 after a rematch with Anthony Joshua collapsed due to a positive drugs test, which was later found to be as a result of a contaminated supplement. Nevertheless, it pushed Whyte (31-3, 21KOs) even further away from a much-craved second world title bout after his 2022 loss to Tyson Fury until being given a shot at redemption this weekend. 'I never thought I would be a heavyweight boxer or a heavyweight champion doing good. Obviously I got in trouble, started to do a little bit of training to stay out of trouble and then kick-boxing fell on my lap and saved my life,' Whyte reflected. 'I was meant to be dead or in prison by my twenties but to overcome this, raise a family myself, it shows that anything is possible if you believe. A post shared by Ring Magazine (@ringmagazine) 'I would love to win a world title. If I can win a world title then I've had an amazing career. 'I had a version of it, but if I can win a full world title, then people that come from my background, where I have come, the way I got into boxing, for me that's an amazing story to inspire people.' Former WBC interim heavyweight champion Whyte is a huge outsider versus 20-year-old Itauma, who has earned comparisons to Mike Tyson with his knock-out power. However, Whyte can lean on the experience of sharing the ring with Anthony Joshua, Fury, Derek Chisora and Joseph Parker during a 14-year professional career. 'These last few years have taught me that this is what I do, this is what I love doing and I need to take advantage of it, focus on it and appreciate it. Here today, gone tomorrow,' Whyte added. 'Today Moses is the next Mike Tyson. He is great, amazing and they talk about him fighting (Oleksandr) Usyk. I go in there, he does his thing, I catch him and blow him up. Then what? People say he's not good any more? 'My mindset is no-one wants to fight Moses, he is a great fighter, young, sharp and full of beans. You have to believe in yourself and take risks. 'That is what my life is all about. Showing people, my family and my kids, and people in general, you have to take risks to get to places. 'I ain't got nothing to lose. What have I got to lose? I'm a nobody. I'm being compared to a journeyman in the 90s and 80s, he is being compared to Mike Tyson.'

Jack Grealish on verge of Everton loan move from Manchester City
Grealish, not included in City's 27-man squad for this summer's Club World Cup in the United States, is expected to undergo a medical with the Merseysiders on Monday. The 29-year-old reportedly earns £300,000-per-week having joined City from Aston Villa for a then-record British transfer fee of £100million in August 2021. Jack Grealish started only seven Premier League games for Manchester City last season (Adam Davy/PA) Grealish made his last appearance for Pep Guardiola's side as a late substitute in the 3-1 home win against Bournemouth in their penultimate league game last season. He had dropped down the pecking order under Guardiola, making just seven league starts in total last season, and was an unused substitute in the FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace. Everton launch the new campaign at newly-promoted Leeds next Monday before playing their first Premier League game at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium against Brighton on August 24. The Toffees signed midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea for a fee of around £28m last week and Grealish would be the Merseysiders' sixth summer signing following the previous arrivals of Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers and Adam Aznou.
