Lloyd Glasspool from Redditch has advanced to the men’s doubles final at Wimbledon, aiming for his first major title. Teaming up with fellow Brit Julian Cash, the duo achieved a straight-sets victory over fourth seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, winning 6-3, 6-4. Remarkably, Glasspool and Cash, who are seeded fifth, have only dropped one set throughout the tournament.
Before reaching the final, the British pair eliminated the defending champions Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara in the quarter-finals, showcasing their formidable skills on the court.
In the final, scheduled for Saturday, July 12, they will face the unseeded duo of David Pel and Rinky Hijikata, marking a significant opportunity for Glasspool to claim his first Wimbledon title. Prior to Wimbledon, the pair also made history by becoming the first all-British team to win the men’s doubles title at the Queens tournament in the Open era and celebrated further success at Eastbourne, further building their momentum.
This final represents not only a personal milestone for Glasspool, who is 31 years old, but also a chance to make a mark in British tennis history. With the pair’s impressive track record and determination, fans are hopeful that they can secure the championship at SW19.
