Overview
- World No. 1s Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara beat Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić 7-6(4), 7-6(3) on Saturday to win the Wimbledon men's doubles final.
- The match produced no break points with both sets settled in tiebreaks and Patten finishing the win with an ace on match point.
- The pair’s run was built on tiebreak strength, as they won eight of nine tiebreaks across the fortnight and survived three deciding-match tiebreaks earlier in the draw.
- Their title makes them the 11th Open-era team to win multiple Wimbledon men’s doubles crowns and makes Patten the first British man in the Open era to lift the trophy twice.
- Patten publicly criticized recent ATP proposals to reduce doubles prize money and events, saying the win highlighted doubles’ appeal while Arévalo had earlier won the mixed doubles with Jelena Ostapenko at Wimbledon.
