Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool became the first all-English pairing to reach the men’s doubles final at Wimbledon for the Open era, beating fourth seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.
They offered an amazing 11 aces to their opponents, winning 6-3 6-4 in court on a hot day.
Cash, 28 and 31, is the first all-English all-English matchup since Mike Davies and Bobby Wilson in 1960.
This comes after they became the first all-English partnership to win the men’s tag team title last month at the Open Age Queens Cathedral, which began in 1968 when professionals were allowed to compete in the Grand Slam Championship.
They then won in Eastbourne and have beaten defending Wimbledon champions Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara.
They will meet David Pel of the Netherlands and Rinky Hijikata of Australia in Saturday’s final.
The fifth seed cash and Glasspool chased his first Grand Slam trophy as a pairing, efficient in both sets and converted their two breakout points into SEAL wins.
The British have had success in men’s doubles in recent years, Patten won the championship last year with Finnish partner Heliovaara, while Neal Skupski won the championship with Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof.
