Defending champions Cash & Glasspool out of Wimbledon

BBC Sport · 1 month ago

Cash and Glasspool, the first all-British men's doubles title holders at Wimbledon in nearly a century after winning in 2025, have been eliminated in the quarter-finals. Third seeds fell to a rapid straight-sets defeat against sixth-seeded Arevalo and Pavic, losing 6-2, 7-6 in 74 minutes despite holding two break-point chances that went unconverted.

The result stands as a notable upset given the defending champions' standing as the world's top-ranked pairing at year-end 2025. Arevalo and Pavic are now positioned to capture a Queen's-Wimbledon double, replicating Cash and Glasspool's feat from the previous year. Henry Patten remains Britain's sole representative in the men's doubles draw, having advanced alongside Finnish partner Heliovaara, the 2024 champions, to the semi-final round.
