Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara secured their second Wimbledon men's doubles crown on Saturday, defeating Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-3) in a serve-dominated final with no break points conceded.
The victory made Patten and Heliovaara the first team to win multiple Wimbledon doubles titles since Bob and Mike Bryan in 2011, while Patten became the first British man to claim two Wimbledon men's doubles championships in the Open era. The pair, who captured the world number one ranking in June, extended their head-to-head advantage over Arevalo and Pavic to 6-3. Their fortnight was marked by resilience, as they won three final-set tie-breaks en route to the championship match.
The triumph arrives amid ongoing debate over the sport's direction, following ATP Tour proposals earlier this month to halve doubles draws and redirect prize money toward singles.
