Patten and Heliovaara Dominate Wimbledon Doubles: A Quest for Grand Slam Glory
Defending champions Patten and Heliovaara advance in Wimbledon 2025, showcasing their dominance in men's doubles with a strong performance against British pair Harris and Willis.



Wimbledon 2025 has seen defending champions Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara continue their impressive run in the men's doubles, securing a spot in the third round. The duo, who have already claimed titles at Wimbledon and the Australian Open since teaming up in April last year, demonstrated their prowess with a 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 victory over British pair Billy Harris and Marcus Willis.
In a match that lasted one hour and 20 minutes, Patten's accurate overhead smashes and strong serving were key factors in their success. The first set was a tightly contested tie-break, which Patten and Heliovaara managed to edge out. The second set saw them break Harris's serve to love, sealing their victory and advancing further in the tournament.
This victory marks their second consecutive win against British pairs, having previously defeated Dan Evans and Henry Searle in the first round. The partnership between Patten and Heliovaara is proving to be highly effective, as they aim for their third Grand Slam title in just their fifth major tournament together.
Meanwhile, in the mixed doubles, British player Lloyd Glasspool and Mexican partner Giuliana Olmos faced a tough challenge, losing 6-3 6-3 to American Jackson Withrow and Russia's Irina Khromacheva in their first-round match.
