Colombia’s Juan-Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah won their first Grand Slam men’s doubles title on Saturday with an almost five-hour triumph at Wimbledon.
The second seeds became the first pair from their country to celebrate a major title thanks to their 6-7 (5/7), 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (8/6), 6-7 (5/7), 6-3 win over 11th-seeded French pair Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
Cabal and Farah will also become the world number one team for the first time after their four-hour 56-minute victory.
