Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool have made history at Wimbledon, becoming the first all-British duo to win the men's doubles final for 89 years.

They had already made history as they stepped on to Centre Court for the match an all-British duo hadn't been in the doubles final since 1960.

It was their 14th match win in a row, taking the victory with a 6-2 7-6 (7-3) win over unseeded team Rinky Hijikata and David Pel.

After the match, Glasspool said: "We will never forget this day for all our lives".

Brits have been successful in the men's doubles over the past few years, with seven different British players winning the title since 2012 but were paired with players from other countries.

Henry Patten claimed the title with Finnish player Harri Heliövaara in 2024 and Neal Skupski won with Dutch player Wesley Koolhof in 2023.

Speaking about the win, Julian Cash said: "We have played a crazy amount of tennis on the grass.

"There was a lot of pressure on our shoulders. The fact we could do what everyone said we could is surreal."

Also making history on Centre Court on the final Saturday of Wimbledon 2025 was Iga Swiatek.

She claimed the title for the first time in straight sets against Amanda Anisimova.

It's the first 6-0, 6-0 win in a Grand Slam final since 1988.

It's also the first time a woman has won a Wimbledon final with a double bagel - the name given to a victory without dropping a game - since 1911.

Speaking after the match, Iga Swiatek said: "Honestly, I didn't even dream of winning Wimbledon because it was way too far.

"I feel like I'm an experienced player, having won other Slams, but I didn't expect this."

The Polish player has been known to celebrate her wins with a meal of pasta with yoghurt and strawberries.

The spokesperson of the US embassy in Poland said they would try the dish if she won over her opponent Amanda Anisimova who is from the US.

If Anisimova won, the spokesperson for the Polish embassy in the US said they would try a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
