The pair will split prize money of £680,000 between them, with Glasspool set to tie the knot with fiancee Sophia Maslin before next year's Championships.
On court Glasspool thanked his future wife for 'lying in bed', and afterwards he explained: 'I want to make sure I've had my sleep.
'She's obviously got businesses to run, so she can't be waking up at 9.30am on Mondays or Tuesdays.
'So yeah, I'm appreciative that she will just stay in bed and kind of work quietly and let me sleep.'
Cash, meanwhile, is weighing up a new set of wheels having been using his old bike to get to Wimbledon as well as Queen's and Eastbourne, where the duo also won titles.
'I've just been looking,' he said. 'I have one. I've had it for a long time, and I've been using it to get to Queen's, Eastbourne, and here a little bit.
'It's been good for the traffic, so I might have a look at that.'
In the men's wheelchair doubles final, Britain's Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid lost their title.
The six-time winners and top seeds were upset 7-6 (1) 7-5 on Court One by Martin De La Puente from Spain and Dutchman Ruben Spaargaren.
'It's an incredible feeling to be out here on an iconic court like this,' said Hewett, 27.
'We've got our hands on the trophy a couple of times before, but win or lose it's always a special feeling playing on home turf.'
Scotland's Reid, 33, added: 'Obviously we are really disappointed. It wasn't our best performance today but we have to say congratulations to Martin and Ruben.'
Britain's Oliver Bonding, 18, and American partner Jagger Leach – the son of former women's champion Lindsay Davenport – lost the boys' doubles final in a match tie-break against Oskari Paldanius and Alan Wazny.

Spencer Horwitz's slam powers Pirates' sweep of Tigers, 6-1
July 23 - Spencer Horwitz's grand slam backed up a quality start from Bailey Falter and helped the host Pittsburgh Pirates finish off a three-game sweep of the frontrunning Detroit Tigers with a 6-1 victory on Wednesday afternoon. Horwitz belted his third home run of the season and first career grand slam in the second inning off Detroit prospect Troy Melton (0-1), who made his major league debut. The 416-foot blast, which came with two outs, gave Pittsburgh a 5-0 lead and put the Pirates on course for their fourth series sweep of the season and 10th win in their past 13 home games. Horwitz finished 7-for-12 with seven RBIs in the series. The Tigers lost their third in a row and for the ninth time in their past 10 games. They were swept for the third time this season and second time in their past three series. Melton's rough day ended after five innings in which he allowed six runs on seven hits, including two home runs, walking two and striking out seven. Andrew McCutchen had the other home run in the bottom of the first -- his ninth of the season -- to put Pittsburgh ahead 1-0. Oneil Cruz had two hits and an RBI and stole two bases, bringing his season total to 33. Bryan Reynolds also continued his torrid hitting with two hits, including his 21st double of the season. Detroit produced its lone run in the top of the seventh when Falter (7-5) allowed a double to Spencer Torkelson and a single to Matt Vierling with one out. But Falter was sharp beyond that, delivering a bounce-back performance in which he struck out eight with no walks, and allowed the lone run on four hits in seven innings. Zach McKinstry, Wenceel Perez and Colt Keith each had a hit for the Tigers, who have scored only nine runs in six games since the All-Star break, with five of those coming in Tuesday's 8-5 loss. To make room for Melton on the active and 40-man rosters, the Tigers placed ace Tarik Skubal on the paternity list and designated center fielder Brewer Hicklen for assignment. --Field Level Media

Tennis ace Carlos Alcaraz surprises Madrid runners after Wimbledon
The Spanish ace, 22, lost in a thrilling Wimbledon final against Jannik Sinner earlier this month to end his title defence after lifting the famous trophy in both 2023 and 2024. Alcaraz is a five-time Grand Slam champion having also won the French Open twice and US Open back in 2022. A couple of weeks on from Wimbledon, the world No.2 surprised runners - including many Brits - by taking part in a 5k run through Madrid's largest park, Casa de Campo. In his first public appearance as GetPRO's Chief Progress Officer, Alcaraz appeared in a pop-up office within the park, to cheer on runners and celebrate their progress as they crossed the finish line, including shouting his signature 'Vamos!'. Alcaraz, who's fresh off another impressive season of tennis, said: 'Cheering the runners on and seeing their determination and energy up close reminded me how powerful a progress mindset can be. 'Whether it was someone's first 5K or their hundredth, every runner out there was chasing their own version of growth, and that's what this is all about..' After the run, Carlos handed out mementos to mark their achievements, along with a range of GetPRO's high-protein snacks. From Grand Slam glory to grassroots grit, Alcaraz continues to prove that progress isn't just about podiums. Whether you're chasing a personal best or just getting started, the message is simple: progress is personal, and worth celebrating.

Rory McIlroy's caddie outearns two Masters winners this year with hefty paycheck
Harry Diamond has been Rory McIlroy's caddie for the best part of a decade and was the first person to embrace the Northern Irishman after he won the Masters Rory McIlroy's childhood mate and long-standing caddie, Harry Diamond, has been by his side through thick and thin. The 41-year-old was the first to congratulate McIlroy after the world No. 2 clinched the Masters, completing the Grand Slam and ending an agonising 11-year wait for a major. The Holywood duo first crossed paths on the putting greens of their local golf club. Although Diamond isn't a professional golfer himself, he's raked in more cash than many top players in recent years. In 2025 alone, it's estimated that McIlroy's right-hand man has pocketed around £1.2million. This figure is based on McIlroy's winnings of roughly £12.2m, as it is standard practice for a caddie to receive about 10% of their player's prize money. Diamond's projected 2025 earnings exceed those of former Masters champions Zach Johnson and Danny Willett, who have bagged around £651,000 and £397,000 this year, respectively. However, it's also possible that Diamond receives a weekly wage topped up with a bonus of around 7-10 percent. Naturally, only Diamond and McIlroy can confirm or refute the specifics of their arrangement, but the above is generally accepted as the norm in the sport. One thing's for sure; McIlroy would find it very odd to compete in a major without his mate by his side. The five-time major champion didn't hold back on his appreciation for Diamond after clinching the Masters title. In a heartfelt interview at Augusta, McIlroy recalled a pivotal moment shared with his close confidant during the tense play-off hole against Justin Rose. McIlroy had just missed what could have been the winning putt on the 18th when he and Diamond prepared for the additional challenge. Recounting the experience, McIlroy said: "After scoring, Harry and I were walking to the golf cart to bring us back to the 18th tee. "He said to me, 'Well, pal, we would have taken this on Monday morning.' I'm like, 'Yeah, absolutely we would have.' That was an easy reset. He basically said to me, 'Look, you would have given your right arm to be in a playoff at the start of the week.' So that sort of reframed it a little bit for me." In the aftermath of his victory, McIlroy was quick to acknowledge Diamond's role in his success. He added: "I've known Harry since I was seven years old. "I met him on the putting green at Holywood Golf Club. We've had so many good times together. He's been like a big brother to me the whole way through my life. "To be able to share this with him after all the close calls that we've had, all the c**p that he's had to take from people that don't know anything about the game, yeah, this one is just as much his as it is mine. "He's a massive part of what I do, and I couldn't think of anyone better to share it with than him."
