The pair will split prize money of £680,000 between them, with Glasspool set to tie the knot with fiancee Sophia Maslin before next year's Championships.
On court Glasspool thanked his future wife for 'lying in bed', and afterwards he explained: 'I want to make sure I've had my sleep.
'She's obviously got businesses to run, so she can't be waking up at 9.30am on Mondays or Tuesdays.
'So yeah, I'm appreciative that she will just stay in bed and kind of work quietly and let me sleep.'
Cash, meanwhile, is weighing up a new set of wheels having been using his old bike to get to Wimbledon as well as Queen's and Eastbourne, where the duo also won titles.
'I've just been looking,' he said. 'I have one. I've had it for a long time, and I've been using it to get to Queen's, Eastbourne, and here a little bit.
'It's been good for the traffic, so I might have a look at that.'
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.'
Britain's Oliver Bonding, 18, and American partner Jagger Leach – the son of former women's champion Lindsay Davenport – lost the boys' doubles final in a match tie-break against Oskari Paldanius and Alan Wazny.

Wimbledon fans convinced Nick Kyrgios aimed brutal Sinner dig with cryptic post
Jannik Sinner became Wimbledon champion for the first time with a four-set victory over Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday but his win appears to come with an asterisk in the eyes of Nick Kyrgios Nick Krygios has never been afraid to share his opinions on tennis and that has never proven truer than his verdict on Jannik Sinner's drugs ban earlier this year. The Aussie tennis star was among the most vocal critics when the Wimbledon champion was initially cleared of any wrongdoing by the International Tennis Integrity Agency after failing two drug tests last year. Sinner eventually accepted a three-month ban after the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed to CAS over the decision And even after Sinner's success in Wimbledon's final, Kyrgios was not about to let the moment pass without comment. Less than an hour after the Italian defeated Carlos Alcaraz, the Australian ace took to social media with a cryptic comment, that perhaps didn't need too much imagination to understand the message he wanted to convey. Kyrgios simply posted as asterisk, seeming to suggest that Sinner's title should come with one. Or at least hoping to needle any fans of the Italian star. And Kyrgios found some support on is post. "A huge asterisk on this years Wimbledon," one fan agreed. READ MORE: Jannik Sinner's first Wimbledon title comes with an asterisk after 'tough moment' admission "Finally someone mentioning it, we are all thinking it," a said another. "100% the take on this Wimbledon. Well said," said a further user. The former Wimbledon finalist went on to repost another message posted to X which read: "Congratulations to Clostebol & Trimetazidine!" Kyrgios made it clear that he believes this year's championships have been tainted by recent bans for both Sinner and Iga Swiatek, who both earned their first Wimbledon title. Sinner tested positive for low levels of a metabolite of clostebol, which is a banned steroid that can be used to build muscle mass. Women's singles champion Swiatek served a one-month suspension last year after testing positive trimetazidine, a medication that can increase blood flow and improve endurance. Kyrgios has been extremely vocal on the subject and admitted his concern ahead of the Wimbledon finals. "At the end of the day, the decision has been made, and it's kind of in the past," he told the i. "Do I think it's a good look for the sport that Swiatek and Sinner are in the final at Wimbledon after serving a ban? I don't think it's a good look for the sport. "Do I think it's a good look for the sport that Swiatek and Sinner are in the final at Wimbledon after serving a ban? I don't think it's a good look for the sport. "And I think people could agree. But I'm not going to sit there and talk about that [on commentary] in the final. They've been playing some incredible tennis. "Sinner, he served a ban, which do I agree with? No. But he came back and he's been playing some excellent tennis. He didn't look like he missed a beat, and he looked like he improved during that period of time, which is still incredible, regardless of why he was banned."

Serena Williams shows off incredible body transformation as Venus prepares for comeback
Serena William shared a photo online of her after a work out showing fans her impressive physique, three years after retiring from tennis. Tennis legend, Serena Williams, who boasts an incredible 23 Grand Slam titles, has been turning heads on Instagram as she showed off her impressive post-retirement fitness journey with her 18.1 million followers. The sporting legend, who stepped away from professional tennis three years ago, following a gruelling final match against Ajla Tomljanovic at the US Open, has continued to inspire fans, this time by sharing a glimpse into her life beyond the court. Her emotional farewell at Flushing Meadows marked the end of her era in sports, stepping away from tennis. Since then Serena has welcomed her second child in August 2023, and despite the demands of motherhood she still remains dedicated to maintaining her athletic physique, the Mirror reports. Her latest Instagram post highlighted her dedication to maintaining her physique, as she showed off her toned body and sculpted abs, alongside the caption: "Working out and working on my angles." Fans were quick to praise Serena's appearance, with one admirer gushing: "Okkkk abs," while another enthusiastically commented: "You look good!!!!!!!!!" A third fan praised her for being a great example for her children, saying: "You are ridiculously bad a**!! bravo to you for being a great example to your kids." Some followers even began to wonder if a return to tennis could be on the cards. One wrote: "Looks like she's making a comeback.... tennis needs her," while another added, "Serena, you look amazing! Please come back. Pro tennis needs you. You're looking as fit as ever. You could still get to 24." A third simply stated: "I sense a comeback," alongside several fire flame emojis. Renowned for her strength and commanding presence on the court, Serena appears noticeably leaner, in the recent Instagram snap, compared to her competitive playing days. This transformation was evident in a video she shared back in January last year, where she openly discussed her fitness goals and dedication to losing weight. In the clip she stated: "Alright, I'm getting back into the swing of things." Before highlighting her change in physique: "This is not my usual weight, but it'll do until I get back to where I need to be." Meanwhile Serena's older sister, Venus Williams, is preparing for a return to competitive tennis with a wildcard entry into the DC Open in Washington. This will mark her first WTA Tour appearance since March last year. "There's something truly special about DC, the energy, the fans, the history," Venus excitedly shared with her fans as news of her participation in the tournament was confirmed. "This city has always shown me so much love, and I can't wait to compete there again," she continued. Although she holds seven Grand Slam titles, Venus notably missed all four major tournaments last year - the first time she's done so since beginning her professional career, back in 1997.

Jannik Sinner's coach expects ‘amazing' Carlos Alcaraz rivalry to ‘get better'
The best of the rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz is yet to come, according to the Italian's coach. Sinner triumphed in the latest instalment of the new battle at the top of men's tennis, gaining revenge for his heartbreaking loss in the French Open final five weeks ago by claiming a first Wimbledon title. The world number one fought back from a set down to defeat Alcaraz 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 on Centre Court, ending the Spaniard's 24-match winning run and hopes of claiming a third straight Wimbledon title. They have shared the last seven grand slam trophies between them, with Sinner now boasting four major titles to his rival's five. Australian Darren Cahill, who has worked with Sinner for three years and previously coached Lleyton Hewitt, Andre Agassi and Simona Halep, said: 'The quality of Roland Garros I think was one of the best matches I've ever seen in the 25 years I've been a coach and a player. 'The rivalry I think is amazing already, and I think it can get better with both these players pushing each other. 'I do think there's some other younger players coming through that will punch their way through the door, so it won't just be a two-man show. Which we look forward to as well and are excited about. 'I have fingers crossed that they're going to have a great 10 or 15 years to go, and they'll have some more amazing matches.' Six of the top 10 are aged 23 or under, with Britain's Jack Draper, American Ben Shelton, Dane Holger Rune and Italian Lorenzo Musetti all looking to challenge Sinner and Alcaraz, while 18-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca broke into the top 50 for the first time on Monday. But there is no doubt the top two are currently a significant level above their rivals – Sinner has almost twice the ranking points of Alexander Zverev in third despite serving a three-month doping ban this year – and both put a special focus on each other. 'I would say that we are preparing him for the field, not just for one player,' added Cahill. 'But Carlos is a big focus, and both of those guys are pushing each other. 'I would say that Jannik watches more Carlos matches than he does anybody else because he's fascinated with the improvements that are coming in his game, and he's pushing us as coaches to make sure that he's improving also as a tennis player.' A potential blow to Sinner could yet be averted, meanwhile, with the 23-year-old telling Italian media that, by winning the final, he won a bet with Cahill allowing him to decide whether the Australian should reverse his decision to retire at the end of the season. Sinner and Alcaraz will now take a well-earned break before turning their attention to the North American hard-court swing, culminating in the US Open at the end of August, where Sinner will be the one bidding to retain his title. By winning Wimbledon and ending a five-match losing streak against Alcaraz, Sinner has cemented his position as number one and now holds three of the four major titles. Alcaraz retains a healthy lead at the top of the Race to Turin, which only counts points from 2025, and he must look to avoid the sort of letdown that affected him following his loss to Novak Djokovic in the Olympic final last summer. 'It's a different feeling,' said the 22-year-old, who suffered his first grand slam final loss. 'Last year in the Olympics I was really bad emotionally after the match. In the last year I've been through different situations (and) I learned from them. I just lost a final in a grand slam, but I'm really proud about being in a final.' Sinner, meanwhile, expects his rival to take a leaf out of his book and bounce back strongly. 'Even (in the final) I felt like he was doing a couple of things better than I did,' said the Italian. 'So that's something we will work on and prepare ourselves because he's going to come for us again. There is not only Carlos, but everyone. We have a big target on us, so we have to be prepared.'
