British Defending Champions Reach Qatar ExxonMobil Open Doubles Final

Doha: British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, the defending champions, advanced to the doubles final of the 2026 Qatar ExxonMobil Open (ATP 500) on Thursday. Cash and Glasspool produced a commanding performance to defeat France's Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert 6-3, 6-2 in the semi-finals, setting up a title clash on the main court of the Khalifa International Tennis Complex. According to Qatar News Agency, they will face Britain's Henry Patten and Finland's Harri Heliovaara, who earlier beat Italian pair Andrea Vavassori and Simone Bolelli 7-5, 6-4. Cash and Glasspool are aiming to retain the title they won in Doha last year, when they defeated fellow Britons Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski in straight sets.
