Cash/Glasspool Titles The Best Tag Teams of 2025 Review

Nitto ATP Finals champion Heliovaara/Patten also appeared

December 9, 2025

To mark the end of another exciting season, ATPTour.com presents our annual “Best of” series, which will reflect the most interesting rivalries, games, comebacks, upsets and more. Today we’re highlighting five doubles teams that have been doing well this season.

Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool
Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool produced a season that will go down in British tennis history. In their first full season together, they were awarded the year-end ATP Doubles No. 1 honors by PIF, becoming the first all-British pair to achieve this feat. They won a tour-leading seven titles in 2025, including five in a row between June and August, during which they went 22 games unbeaten.

“It’s been a crazy year, that’s for sure. We worked so hard in the offseason. We couldn’t have done this without everyone in the box, and my family in the corner,” Cash said while accepting the year-end No. 1 trophy at the Nitto ATP Finals. “We’ve accomplished a lot this year and I think we all really believed at the beginning of the year that this was possible for us.”

One of the defining moments of Cash and Glasspool’s season came at Wimbledon when they became the first All-British team to win a Grand Slam men’s doubles trophy since 1936, giving both players their first Grand Slam title.

Harry Heliovala & Henry Patten
For Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten, 2025 tells a story of starting strong and ending even stronger. The British-Finnish pair kicked off the season by winning their second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, then ended the year in dominant fashion – claiming their first ATP Masters 1000 title in Paris before winning their first Nitto ATP Finals title in Turin.

“It’s hard to describe,” Heliovaara said after winning the Nitto ATP Finals. “All week long I was looking at the list of winners and there were huge winners and I thought if my name was on it I would be so proud. To be next to Henry is unreal.”

Heliowala and Patten also won the Beijing ATP 500 event to end the season with a 50-20 record, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.

Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos
After losing three previous times in Grand Slam finals, Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos turned heartache into redemption not just once, but twice in 2025. First came a thrilling win over Joe Salisbury and Neil Skupski at the French Open, followed by an even more dramatic win at the US Open, where they saved three championship points to defeat the British pair again.

“Honestly, I don’t know what to think right now. It was a good fight,” Zeballos said at the U.S. Open awards ceremony. “When you go into these types of games, when there are winners and losers, it’s very unfair because everything these guys do is great.

“I can’t believe we just won the U.S. Open. It was great to be able to watch us play with so many people.”

Granollers and Zeballos also won titles in Bucharest, Madrid and Basel and ended the season with a sixth consecutive appearance at the Nitto ATP Finals.

Marcelo Arevalo and Matt Pavic
Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic once again made a statement, winning ATP Masters 1000 titles in Indian Wells, Miami and Rome to ensure a well-deserved return to the season finale in Turin. They became the sixth team in history to complete the “Sunshine Double”, winning titles in Indian Wells and Miami in the same season.

Although Arevalo and Pavich lost to Granollers and Zeballos in the Madrid final, they made a comeback in Rome, defeating Sadio Doumbia and Fabian Reboul to save championship points – a fitting redemption after missing out in the 2024 final.

“It means a lot and I’m really excited right now,” Arevalo said. “I love this game. I’ve had a connection with this city since I first played here. I’m glad we were able to win this game because it was a real battle. Matt and I have been together the whole time.”

Christian Harrison and Evan King
A partnership that didn’t exist at the beginning of the year became one of the most interesting success stories. Christian Harrison and Evan King burst onto the scene with ATP 500 titles in Dallas and Acapulco and added another trophy in Brussels before reaching the Nitto ATP Finals — the first All-American duo to reach a season final since Mike Bryan and Jack Sock won in 2018.

Harrison and King showed their command of the court, winning two indoor hard-court titles and reaching the semifinals at Roland Garros on clay. They also reached the finals in Auckland and Delray Beach after debuting at the ATP Challenger Tour in Quimper, France in January.
