Press Conference

CASH-GLASSPOOL/Salisbury-Skupski

6-3, 6-7, 13-11

THE MODERATOR: Congratulations, Julian and Lloyd. This is your first ATP Masters 1000 title, but you are also on a 19-match winning streak. How satisfied are you about your performance right now?

JULIAN CASH: Yeah, we've had an amazing kind of six, seven weeks, but the whole year's been good. We've put in a lot of effort in the off-season and, yeah, it's really nice for it to be paying off. I think we need a little bit of rest, kind of reset, and yeah, long may the success continue.

LLOYD GLASSPOOL: Yeah, 19 matches in a row is incredible. I think now it's about keeping the body and the mind as fresh as we can. This is obviously an amazing problem to have, but yeah, right now I'm pretty exhausted, I will have to really rest up and try and push really hard again for Cincinnati.

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Over this 19-match win streak I believe you guys are 7-0 in the super tiebreaks. You had a really close one actually in the first round as well. What has allowed you guys to stay composed and fight through those super tiebreaks, which can sometimes be kind of a coin flip?

LLOYD GLASSPOOL: I think we're both pretty good servers, that's kind of our identity as a team. Serving, good servers obviously favors, tiebreaks favors good servers, so we're at a little bit of an advantage.

But at the minute we're confident, everything is going our way, so it's easy to be clutch in those big moments when you just have that confidence, and I think that really helps. Obviously, there's a massive amount of luck involved as well. It's really been on our side the last month. But, yeah, I think we've earned it and deserved it.

Q. Especially as a British player, how much has your life changed since you make history at Wimbledon, and also how much of a boost that has been for just to keep winning, especially while dealing with the fatigue.

JULIAN CASH: I wouldn't say life's changed a crazy amount, but yeah, we're obviously enjoying the wins, and coming to these tournaments I certainly feel different showing up here. I feel probably more respect and a little bit more feared from the people we're playing. Which I also think, going back to the last question, definitely has an impact in those big moments.

I think maybe sometimes other pairs don't always play as well, because they kind of fear us and our game style. I wouldn't say anything's changed massively, but yeah, really enjoying this period in the year.

Yeah, I mean, there's obviously a lot of hard work, too. We were just talking in the locker room, and Lloyd was saying how tough it is to win so many matches, which obviously I joked with him, but it is true. It's a lot of tennis. Mentally it's very draining, especially in these two-week tournaments. It's a lot of time on site, it does take a lot out of you. Yeah, it's important that we kind of acknowledge that and respect our bodies and our minds moving forward.

Q. You're down 9-6 in that match tiebreak, one point and it can go the other way. What do you say to each other and to yourselves in that moment to be able to stay calm and fight back?

JULIAN CASH: I mean, well, if you go through the 19 matches, it's not the first time we've been match point down. So it's a situation we've been in before. I remember kind of earlier on in that breaker we were down two mini breaks or something, it was like 7-4, and I kind of said to Lloyd, We've been in a lot worse position than this and come out of the right end.

But I think that's where the hard work pays off. I think it's where the confidence comes in. We are still able to swing free and play loose, which is really important. Yeah, we back ourselves and know that in those moments we generally do bring our best tennis, and so that proves to help, yeah.
