This year saw the doubles reduced from a best-of-five set format to a best-of-three, with Skupski and Koolhof winning 6-4, 6-4.
And it was Liverpool native Skupski who served out the match, with the 33-year-old crashing to the grass in jubilation.
It is the third time that Skupski has now won a Grand Slam at the All England Club.
His two previous victories came in the mixed doubles with partner Desirae Krawczyk.
Incredibly, by becoming a mixed doubles and men’s double champion, Skupski is the first Brit to have achieved the feat since 1926.
It’s been nearly 100 years since Leslie Godfree won the men’s doubles in 1923 Randolph Lycett, before winning in the mixed three years later with future wife Kitty.
And Skupski is also the first Briton since Jonathan Marray in 2012 to have triumphed in the men’s doubles at SW19.
