World No 1s Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara won the Wimbledon men's doubles ***** le on Saturday, reclaiming their 2024 crown with a straight-sets win over sixth seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic.
The top-seeded pair were immaculate on serve and raised their game further in two clinical tiebreaks, winning 7-6(4) 7-6(3) in a match which featured no break points.
It was redemption for Britain's Patten and his Finnish partner after they lost the Queen's final to the same opposition in straight sets just last month, while it marked an immediate return to the top after they lost a one-sided Roland-Garros final, and made Patten the first British man to win the Wimbledon men's doubles crown twice.
This marks a third grand slam ***** le for the pairing, who have only been together for two years, after Wimbledon 2024 and the Australian Open in 2025.
Arevalo was denied a fourth grand slam ***** le and second of the weekend, after claimed the mixed doubles trophy on Thursday alongside Jelena Ostapenko, in doing so becoming the first player from El Salvador to win a Wimbledon ***** le. Croatia's Mate Pavic, a seven-time grand slam champion, now has a third runners-up plate at Wimbledon to go with the ***** le in won in 2021 with compatriot Nikola Mektic.
