​Great Britain’s Henry Patten and his Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara claimed their third major triumph in as many years by reclaiming the Wimbledon men’s doubles title. As world number ones, they defeated Marcelo Arevalo of El Salvador and Mate Pavic of Croatia 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-3) on Centre Court, to the delight of the packed crowd.
Patten collapsed onto the court after delivering a decisive ace on their second match point, then was embraced by Heliovaara after his partner celebrated with a forward roll. The win came after their first Wimbledon title in 2024, a victory that followed their earlier decision to team up that year; they then went on to win the Australian Open in 2025. Their run to the title at the French Open final in June and a loss to Arevalo and Pavic in the Queen’s Club final in the weeks before Wimbledon had teased their chances, but they ultimately prevailed at the All England Club.
Their triumph continues a season in which they have excelled in tiebreaks, pushing their tally to a tour-leading fifth title of the year. Both sides served with precision, as neither unit could convert a break-point opportunity in either set, with both teams maintaining high levels on serve throughout. Patten and Heliovaara, who had already won deciding-set tiebreaks in three of their five matches and six of seven tie-breaks overall, raised their performance when it mattered most. They seized control of the first-set tie-break by taking four of the first five points, and dominated the second-set breaker by winning five of the first six points before sealing the victory.
In achieving this success, the duo became the first team to win multiple Wimbledon men’s doubles titles since Bob and Mike Bryan captured back-to-back championships in 2011. Their trajectory remains upward, with the pair having claimed the world number one ranking for the first time in June. Patten’s achievement marks a historic moment for British tennis, as he becomes the first British player in the Open era to win Wimbledon’s men’s doubles title more than once, with this victory marking the fourth consecutive year that a home player has claimed the title.
