Briton Neal Skupski wins his first Grand Slam against compatriots Harriet Dart and Joe Salisbury... with the defeated male player losing to Desirae Krawczyk - his partner as they won the French Open last month

It has been a fortnight of giddy highs and desperate lows for the British contingent but last night it ended with a Wimbledon title for the home guard.

With Brits on each team in the mixed doubles final that was a guarantee, but it was Neal Skupski and his partner Desirae Krawczyk who beat Joe Salisbury and Harriet Dart 6-2, 7-6.

For Liverpool's Skupski, it was a first Grand Slam title at the age of 29. An initially modest career is showing great promise as he approaches a doubles player's peak years.
