Great Britain’s Henry Patten and Finnish teammate Hari Heliovara regained their Wimbledon men’s doubles title for their third major win in as many years.
The world number one beat El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo and Croatia’s Mate Pavic 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-3) in front of a jubilant Center Court crowd.
Patten fell to the ground after aceing the pair’s second match point, before embracing Heliovara after his teammate rolled forward in celebration.
The pair won their first Wimbledon in 2024, despite only joining forces earlier that year, before winning the Australian Open in 2025.
They lost in the French Open final in June and were defeated by Arevalo and Pavic in the Queen’s final in the build-up to Wimbledon.
However, they were not to be denied at the All England Club on Saturday, continuing their excellent record in the tie-break to capture a Tour-leading fifth title of the season.
Neither pair could force a break point in either set as both teams maintained excellent levels on serve.
But Patten and Heliovara, having won deciding-sets in tie-breaks in three of their five matches – and six of the seven tie-breaks they contested overall – raised their level again when it counted.
They won four of the first five points to take charge of the first set tie-break and five of the first six in the second.
In doing so, they became the first team to win multiple Wimbledon men’s doubles titles since American great Bob and Mike Bryan in 2011.
They continued to go from strength to strength, capturing the world number one ranking for the first time in June.
Patten became the first British player in the Open era to win the Wimbledon men’s doubles title multiple times, making it the fourth year in a row that a home player has won the title.
