LONDON - Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah became the first Colombians to win a Grand Slam men’s doubles title when they beat France’s Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-7 7-6 7-6 6-7 6-3 in a near five-hour epic at Wimbledon on Saturday.
“I’m speechless. I kept watching the watch through the first and second set. I’m like: ‘We finished the second set and it’s been two hours and 15 minutes play. This is ridiculous. How long is this?’” said Farah. Cabal, who will rise to the top of the doubles rankings when the new list is released on Monday, added: “We just won Wimbledon for Colombia. It’s huge for our country. The moment we’re living right now is just crazy.”
Mahut, who had won the full complement of Grand Slam men’s doubles titles with Pierre-Hugues Herbert before being dumped by his fellow Frenchman earlier this year, looked like he could be walking off with his second Wimbledon crown as he and Roger-Vasselin produced some high-quality winners to level the match at two sets all.
