- Pair who teamed up in April win 6-7 (7), 7-6 (8), 7-6 (9)
- Patten is third Briton to win men’s doubles in Open era
Henry Patten completed a remarkable Wimbledon run by becoming the first British winner of the 2024 championships with men’s doubles success alongside his Finnish partner, Harri Heliövaara.
Patten and Heliövaara had only teamed up in April, but dumped out a succession of seeds on the way to a maiden grand slam final together. Up against the Australian pair Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson, Patten and Heliövaara saved three championship points in the second set before they sealed a superb 6-7 (7), 7-6 (8), 7-6 (9) victory in front of a jubilant Centre Court crowd.
