Robert Cash and JJ Tracy are doubles champions on the ATP Tour for the first time. The Americans won their maiden tour-level trophy on Saturday at the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo, where they overcame Blake Bayldon and Tristan Schoolkate 7-6(4), 6-4 in Los Cabos.

They are the third American doubles champions in the Los Cabos tournament history after John Isner triumphed with Mexico's Hans Hach Verdugo in 2021 and William Blumberg won with Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in 2022.

Cash and Tracy are up four spots to No. 19 in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Rankings with the win. They arrived at the ATP 250 having last week won the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, which transitioned from an ATP 250 to an ATP Challenger Tour event this year.

"It's huge. It's our first ATP event win ever," Cash said. "Hopefully we can take this momentum and keep it rolling into the hard court swing in the US and beyond. Means so much. I am so happy to get it here in Los Cabos and hopefully it's a first of many."

Cash and Tracy rallied from 3-5 in the first set, saving on set point on return at 4-5. They then battled back from a break down in the second set, sealing victory on their second match point after one hour and 36 minutes in their first Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting with their Australian opponents. This was the Cash and Tracy's sole straight-sets win this week.

Since making their ATP Tour debut in Newport last year, where they reached the championship match, the duo has captured seven ATP Challenger titles. They also advanced to the semi-finals at tour-level events in Dallas and Delray Beach earlier this season.

"One of our goals is that we want to win one of every single [category] tournament," Tracy said. "This year we knocked off a 125, 175 and [now an ATP] 250. So, definitely for the rest of the year, gearing up for the US Open and keep progressing and get [an ATP] 500, [Masters] 1000 win next."
