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.

James Anderson and Rocky Flintoff to play in the Hundred this summer
Anderson turns 43 before the tournament begins next month and will play for Manchester Originals, meaning the Lancashire veteran will continue to ply his trade at Old Trafford. England's record Test wicket-taker was loosely attached to the Originals when the competition first launched in 2021 and will finally make his bow in the fifth edition, having originally gone unsold in the draft. He has never played any form of franchise cricket before, having also failed to win an Indian Premier League deal following his international retirement. From the James Anderson end…. Sir James Anderson joins Manchester Originals for The Hundred 2025! 🤩 — The Hundred (@thehundred) July 15, 2025 'I'm really looking forward to The Hundred and I'm really happy to be part of the Manchester Originals squad,' he said. 'I've loved my time with Lancashire this season, so I'm excited to have the opportunity to add value in the Hundred. 'It's a competition I've really enjoyed watching. When you're at the games you can really see that it does attract a slightly different crowd, a lot of younger people and families, and you can't underestimate how important that is for our game. I can't wait to get out there.' At the other end of the age spectrum, 17-year-old Flintoff will be making it a family affair at Headingley. He has never played a professional T20 but recently hit a fine century for England Under-19s against India this month and has impressed for England Lions, who are also coached by his famous father. Australian Hilton Cartwright is the only overseas player among the 32 wildcard signings, stepping in for Faf du Plessis at Southern Brave following the former South Africa captain's injury withdrawal. Jason Roy, a World Cup winner with England in 2019, takes up the vacancy in the Brave squad. Scotland internationals Katherine Fraser and Darcey Carer are among the new recruits in the women's tournament, linking up with the Superchargers and Originals respectively.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Kai Havertz appears to have undergone an incredible body transformation Havertz netted 15 goals in 36 appearances as Arsenal finished second in the Premier League for a third consecutive season. He now looks set for more competition in the attack after the Gunners agreed to sign Sporting Lisbon No9 Viktor Gyokeres for £63.5million. Gyokeres, 27, was on course to move to North London after scoring an incredible 97 goals across the past two seasons - but it's at risk of collapsing over Sporting's bonus demands.

Guy Pepper enjoying dream England Tour debut in Argentina
Despite huge competition in the back row, he established himself as a key figure for Johann van Graan's men as they went onto win the treble – even scoring a stunning try in the final only for it to be disallowed for a knock-on earlier in the play. Pepper has since earned an international call-up, made his England debut in La Plata and then set up the series-clinching try in San Juan. At just 22, the back-rower now heads to the USA for the final leg of England's tour off the back of a near-perfect 12 months. He said: 'It's been unbelievable, the potential to do it with a different group has been class. Argentina is something that I didn't quite know what I'd experience, it's certainly different to what I thought it would be. Not for good or bad reasons, just different. It's been class and can't wait to go over to Washington next. Wrapping up our two-match series against Argentina in style 🏆 Relive the thrilling second Test in San Juan ⬇️ 'My parents got out for the first Test and they stayed on. They have been following us around, one of the few, but it's been great.' England arrived in Argentina without 13 British & Irish Lions, while co-captain Jamie George was a late withdrawal from the second Test before he heads Down Under to join up with the squad. In spite of that, England have managed to earn an impressive series win against Los Pumas, Pepper at the heart of the second victory breaking clear before sending Jack van Poortvliet over for the winning try one minute from time. England boss Steve Borthwick has raved about both the depth his team is developing, but also the spirit within his young squad and Pepper echoed those sentiments. He added: 'The group here has been great. The lads being away with the Lions gives the opportunity for a few boys who have been knocking on the door. Luke Northmore (the Harlequins centre who made his debut in the second Test) getting his cap, who I know has been in and around the squad for a while now. So it's exciting to get this opportunity and get 2-0 against Argentina. 'Argentina beat the Lions, we knew there was a challenge going to come our way. The way we have trained in the last few weeks now has been unbelievable and the spirit of the group has been class. The whole tightness of the group has been spot on. The way we have trained has transferred onto the pitch.' Purchase your tickets to the Autumn Nations Series at Allianz Stadium
