Patton and Heliovara Make History with Wimbledon Mens Doubles Title

July 11, 2026

London, July 11: In a remarkable achievement, Henry Patton, alongside Finland’s Harri Heliövaara, clinched the Men’s Doubles title at Wimbledon 2026. The Anglo-Finnish duo triumphed over El Salvador’s Marcelo Arévalo and Croatia’s Mate Pavić with a score of 7-6(4), 7-6(3) on Saturday. This victory marks Patton as the first British man to win two Wimbledon Men’s Doubles titles in the Open Era.

The top-seeded pair had previously secured the title at Wimbledon in 2024 and also won the Australian Open in 2025.

Patton and Heliövaara have now become the first Men’s Doubles team since Bob and Mike Bryan in 2011 to win multiple Wimbledon titles. They join an elite group as the 11th team to achieve this feat in the Open Era.

Four other British men have won the Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Doubles title in the Open Era: Jonathan Marray (with Frederik Nielsen in 2012), Neal Skupski (with Wesley Koolhof in 2023), and Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, who won last year.

Throughout the two-week tournament, the champions excelled in three final-set tiebreaks. They defeated Mackenzie McDonald and Patrick Thrupp in the second round, Adam Pavlasek and Patrick Rikl in the third round, and eighth seeds Guido Andreozzi and Manuel Guinard in the quarter-finals. They claimed victory in eight out of nine tiebreaks during the championship.

Patton sealed the win with a powerful ace at the ‘T’ on the ad court, marking their third major trophy as a team. Previously, they had won at Wimbledon in 2024 and the Australian Open last year. The left-handed Patton has now become the first British men’s doubles player to win the Wimbledon trophy more than once in the Open Era.

Neither team managed to secure a break point during the match. Heliövaara and Patton won 41 out of 45 first-serve points (91 percent) without succumbing to pressure.

Currently, Heliövaara and Patton lead the Lexus ATP head-to-head series against Arévalo and Pavić with a 6-3 record, including a 4-1 record this year. Arévalo had previously won the Wimbledon Mixed Doubles title with Jelena Ostapenko.
