Harri Heliovaara<\/a> and Henry Patten<\/a> delivered a powerful statement on Monday at the Nitto ATP Finals<\/a>, where they kick-started their title bid with a commanding victory.<\/p>\n The second seeds shook off Christian Harrison<\/a> and Evan King<\/a> 6-4, 6-4 upon return to Inalpi Arena for the second straight year. Having fallen to the Americans in the Roland Garros<\/a> quarter-finals earlier this year, Heliovaara and Patten responded with a 64-minute clinic in Turin, where they dropped just five of 45 service points, according to Infosys ATP Stats.<\/p>\n Signed, sealed and delivered \ud83d\udce8<\/p>\n Second seeds Harri Heliovaara<\/a> and Henry Patten<\/a> shine in their Turin opener, defeating Harrison\/King 6-4 6-4. #NittoATPFinals<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/KDao7SrX55<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ATP Tour (@atptour) November 10, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cWe didn\u2019t do much wrong in our service games, we faced one break point in the whole match and came up with a great serve there,\u201d said Heliovaara. \u201cIt was so fun to be on court\u2026 We were ourselves and enjoyed the moment. I\u2019m just super happy to be here and playing well.\u201d<\/p>\n Heliovaara and Patten, who are riding a five-match winning streak after triumphing in Paris, still have an outside chance of claiming ATP Year-End No. 1 Doubles Team presented by PIF honours. They are trying to make ground on British stars Julian Cash<\/a> and Lloyd Glasspool<\/a>, who fell to Simone Bolelli<\/a>\/Andrea Vavassori<\/a> in their respective opening match.<\/p>\n \u201cI never thought I would have one win on the Tour, so to have 100 is something incredibly special,\u201d said Patten, who recorded his 100th tour-level win.<\/p>\n After levelling their Lexus ATP Head2Head series with Harrison\/King and improving to 1-0 in the John McEnroe<\/a> Group, Heliovaara and Patten can look ahead to meetings with Joe Salisbury<\/a>\/Neal Skupski<\/a> and Marcelo Arevalo<\/a>\/Mate Pavic<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
