When Julian Cash sealed a historic Wimbledon men’s doubles title, Julian Cash sent irreversible overhead smash, his fellow Lloyd Glasspool’s response was somewhat unexpected.
Becoming a champion at All England Club usually includes a flat falling on your back on Turf, involvement in the coaching box to embrace the loved ones, tears or coaching boxes.
But for Glasspool, it was a much more silent relationship.
“My celebration is not a celebration,” he told the BBC Sport.
While Cash turned to his doubles partner and raised a fist before leaping into the air, the Glaspool just went towards the net to shake his opponents’ hands with an empty eye on his face.
“It’s a little flip on the ideal,” said Glasspool.
“It has grown since I used to play together [Harri] Heliovaara – Winner here last year – because he was known for his huge ceremonies.
“I always felt that I have become opposite to the opposite otherwise it’s too much and it’s just stuck with me. I like it – I will continue it.”
Cash and Glasspool won the unheard team Rinke Hijikata and David Peel with a win of 6-2 7-6 (7-3) to win a men’s doubles title in Wimbledon for 89 years.
He promised the court to make it with the celebration, but Cash jokingly said the glass is “a bit rigid” but “Hopefully he will be a drink”.
