Cash and Glasspool clinched Year-End ATP Doubles No. 1 presented by PIF honours earlier this week following their standout season that featured seven titles. However, they were unable to bookend their year with an appearance in the championship match in Turin, with Salisbury and Skupski edging a dramatic semi-final in one hour and 31 minutes.<\/p>\n
Salisbury has now won his past 14 matches at the Nitto ATP Finals<\/a>, having triumphed in Turin in 2022 and 2023 with Rajeev Ram<\/a>. The 33-year-old did not qualify for the tournament last year. Skupski is into the final at the season-end event for the first time and he and Salisbury will face Harri Heliovaara<\/a> and Henry Patten<\/a> in the final on Sunday at 3pm local time (CET).<\/p>\n In a tight clash, little separated the teams in the first set, with just the one break point on offer, leaving a tie-break to decide the opener. Cash and Glasspool played the more proactive tennis in the breaker and struck a few bullet returns to lead.<\/p>\n However, Salisbury and Skupski gained an early break of serve at the start of the second set to swing momentum their way and were rock solid on serve, winning 94 per cent of points on their first delivery in the set. The fifth seeds then edged out a nervy tie-break to reach the final.<\/p>\n Salisbury and Skupski hold a 46-21 record on the season, and are searching for their first title of 2025 together this week. The Brits reached finals at Roland Garros<\/a> and the US Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Match Report Salisbury returns to Nitto ATP Finals title match with first-time finalist Skupski Brits face Heliovaara\/Patten in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":264858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-264857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"It](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763237168_801_it-all-adds-up-banner.jpg\"\/)
