Patten and Heliovaara win Wimbledon doubles, first to qualify for ATP Finals 2026
Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara captured the Wimbledon men's doubles title with tiebreak wins in both sets.
Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara defeated Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic 7-6, 7-6 to win the Wimbledon men’s doubles title, becoming the first pair to secure a spot at the 2026 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin.
The Anglo-Finnish pair claimed their third Grand Slam championship together with a straight-sets victory in the final. Both sets were decided by tiebreaks, with the winners holding their nerve against opponents who had eliminated the world No. 1 pairing in the quarterfinals.
The triumph extends the duo’s remarkable run at major tournaments and carries additional significance for the season ahead. According to the ATP Tour, they have become the first doubles team to officially qualify for the 2026 Nitto ATP Finals, securing their place at the season-ending event in Turin with months to spare.
The victory marks continued dominance for the partnership, which has now collected three Grand Slam titles since joining forces. Their ability to navigate tight contests was on full display at the All England Club, where they conceded no sets in the final despite facing a battle-tested pair.
