Cabral/Miedler upset Cash/Glasspool to take the Brisbane crown

January 11, 2026

Francisco Cabral and Lucas Miedler have quickly picked up where they left off in 2025.

The Portuguese-Austrian duo defeated top seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool 6-3, 3-6, 10-8 on Sunday at the Brisbane International presented by ANZ to claim their second consecutive ATP Tour crown. Cabral and Miedler, who lifted an ATP 250 trophy in Athens last season, secured the title with an 84th-minute victory in Queensland.

“I think after the preseason we just kept doing what we were doing before,” Miedler said. “Before the break we also had a great performance and in the off-season we obviously worked well. The first tournament is never easy, but we tried to focus on our strengths and it got better from game to game. I think today’s level from all four boys was really great and we are just happy to get the win here.”

Start the new season with a bang 🏆

Third seeds Cabral and Miedler both converted break points they earned, according to Infosys ATP Stats, en route to victory against the Year-End ATP Doubles No. 1 of 2025, presented by PIF-winning duo Cash and Glasspool. It was their fourth ATP 250 title together since they first debuted as a team in Marrakech last April.

“Of course we want to keep working, keep winning matches and keep playing better at the bigger tournaments,” said Cabral. “It will be our first year playing all the Masters 1000s and we have slightly higher expectations for the Grand Slams, so we hope to perform there and hopefully at the end of the year we will try to be in Turin for the first time.”

Musetti/Sonego triumphs in Hong Kong
Lorenzo Musetti bounced back from the latest singles disappointment at the Bank of China Hong Kong Tennis Open on Sunday, teaming with compatriot Lorenzo Sonego to defeat Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev 6-4, 2-6, 10-1.

Musetti lost to Alexander Bublik in singles, but returned to the court an hour later and left with a smile on his face after an entertaining doubles final at the ATP 250. Musetti and Sonego found their best in the Match Tie-break to earn the crown. The triumph marked Musetti’s first ATP Tour doubles title, while Sonego is now a three-time champion.
