Harri Heliovaara<\/a> and Henry Patten<\/a> are beginning to turn the tide in their Lexus ATP Head2Head rivalry with Julian Cash<\/a> and Lloyd Glasspool<\/a>, following a composed championship-match victory at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

The third-seeded Heliovaara and Patten completed a spotless run to the ATP 500 title in Doha with a 6-3, 6-3 win over the top-seeded defending champions. Also winners in Adelaide, they became the second team to win multiple titles this season, joining Montpellier and Dallas champions Theo Arribage<\/a> and Albano Olivetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After losing their first four meetings against Cash and Glasspool, Heliovaara and Patten have now reduced the deficit to 2-4 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. They also defeated the top seeds in the ATP Masters 1000 final in Paris in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe finished the end of 2025 really strong and just to keep that form in 2026, it\u2019s been a dream six months for us,\u201d said Heliovaara, who won his maiden Nitto ATP Finals<\/a> trophy with Patten in November. \u201cWith Henry, it\u2019s always lovely to play. I had my family here in Doha this week \u2014 my wife and two kids \u2014 so it’s always special to travel with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heliovaara and Patten saved all seven break points they faced in the 69-minute final, according to Infosys ATP Stats. They are now up eight spots to No. 5 in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings, continuing their strong start to the season.<\/p>\n
