Neal Skupski wins men’s doubles to break British record held for almost 90 years

NEAL SKUPSKI matched the great Fred Perry by winning a Wimbledon title for the third year in a row.

Scouser Skupski and Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof beat Spain’s Marcel Granollers and Argentina’s Horacio Zeballos 6-4 6-4 to clinch the men’s doubles crown.

The British right hander had lifted the mixed doubles trophies with America’s Desirae Krawczyk in 2021 and 2022.

Skupski, 33, is the first home player to claim a back-to-back hat-trick at Wimbledon since Dorothy Round added the 1937 women’s singles to mixed doubles titles in the previous two years . 

No British man had done it since Perry won his third men’s singles in a row in 1936.
