Hot Shot of the Month: Julian Cash’s epic scramble en route to Toronto title
Julian Cash has claimed August’s Hot Shot of the Month award for his quick thinking and fearless determination during the men’s doubles final at the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers.
In the second set of his all-British showdown with partner Lloyd Glasspool against Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski, the 29-year-old looked to be chasing a lost cause as the ball sailed toward the stands. But in a moment of brilliance, Cash turned it into a clean winner over Skupski’s head before celebrating with a pose atop the advertising board courtside.
Although Cash and Glasspool dropped the set, they went on to save four championship points in a dramatic Match Tie-break, clinching their first ATP Masters 1000 crown and sixth trophy of the season. The British pair is No. 1 in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings.
With this award, Cash joins Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz on the fan-voted winners list. Stay tuned for more electrifying hot shots throughout the ATP Tour season.
