At the Cincinnati Open, I spoke with the current #1 doubles team on the ATP tour.

Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash's win streak ended at 22 in Cincinnati. We discuss their dominant run on the ATP doubles tour and the mental approach that has led to their success. The pair shares insights into their tiebreaker tactics, physical and mental challenges during their streak, and the fundamentals of what makes a successful doubles partnership.

• Strategies for tiebreakers, including energy management and focusing on team identity
• Why mental fatigue is the biggest challenge for Lloyd during their run
• Working with coaches Barry Fulcher and Luke Hammond on mentality and controllable factors
• Keys to successful doubles partnerships: positioning, communication, and emotional support
