Britain's Henry Patten clinches Wimbledon doubles title with Harri Heliovaara

Patten and Heliovaara had only teamed up in April, but dumped out a succession of seeds on the way to a maiden grand slam final together.

Up against Australian pair Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson, Patten and Heliovaara saved three Championship points in the second set before they sealed a superb 6-7 (7) 7-6 (8) 7-6 (11/9) victory in front of a jubilant Centre Court crowd.

It made Colchester-born Patten only the third British player to win the men's doubles Wimbledon title in the Open era after Neal Skupski and Jonathan Marray.

"Obviously couldn't have been a closer match and I can't really remember what happened to be honest," Patten reflected.

"For me the most special thing is to do it in front of so many people who have come over, my best friends, my family. Thank you all."
