JULIAN CASH will splash his split of £680,000 prize money on a new motorbike after Britain’s latest doubles glory.
The Brighton-born star and Brummie Lloyd Glasspool beat Aussie Rinky Hijikata and Holland’s David Pel 6-2 7-6 to be crowned SW19 kings.
And Cash, 28, plans to upgrade his mode of transportation for events.
He said: “I’ve just been looking at motorbikes… that’s all I’ll say.
“I have one, I’ve had it for a long time and I’ve been using it to get to Queen’s and Eastbourne and here a little bit.
“It’s been good for the traffic, so I might have a look at that.”
Canadian coach Louis Cayer has transformed British doubles since being hired by the LTA in 2007 and was again the mastermind for Saturday’s win.
Glasspool, 31, who plans to pay off his mortgage with his winnings, added: “To have him in your corner is invaluable.
“He’s coached winners and got so many titles. He knows just what to say, the energy you need to bring.
“It’s all the work throughout the years, the data analysis, the things he picks up on court that just nobody else can see. He works tirelessly.”
The match was moved to 1pm — instead of being after the women’s final — and a big crowd was there to witness the ceremony.
Cash added: “Doubles were on Centre Court, it’s full and everyone is having a great time watching.
“I wish there was more attention but all we can do is to try to make the product as good for people as possible.”
