World No. 22 Ellis-Langridge prevailed 20-22,21-17,21-18 against Russia’s Vladimir Ivanov-Ivan Sozonov in yesterday’s 73-minute thriller to become the first English pair to win the men’s doubles competition in 45 years.The victory was extra sweet for Ellis-Langridge as they were finally able to end their four-match losing streak against Ivanov-Sozonov, the winners of the All-England title in 2016.

Ellis-Langridge, the Rio Olympics bronze medallists, were last beaten by the world No. 24 Russians in the quarter-finals of the All-England in March.Ellis-Langridge had won three titles previously, all in 2018, but they were in the fifth-tier Scottish Open, SaarLorLux Open and Canadian Open. Yesterday’s victory netted Ellis-Langridge a cool US$55,500 in prize money which is a hefty sum considering there were no tournaments for nearly seven months because of the Tour’s suspension due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

It also put them back on track to qualify for the World Tour Finals in Bangkok in January as the victory is expected to catapult them from 24th to fourth place in the points standings.
