Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara reached the French Open men’s doubles semi-finals as they continued their bid for a third Grand Slam title together.<\/p>\n
Britain’s Patten and his Finnish partner Heliovaara won a maiden major together at Wimbledon in 2024 and triumphed at the Australian Open the following year.<\/p>\n
The second seeds moved one step closer to capturing their first Roland Garros title with a 6-3 6-4 victory over India’s N Sriram Balaji and Brazil’s Marcelo Demoliner.<\/p>\n
It is the first time Patten and Heliovaara, who are yet to drop a set in Paris, have reached the French Open last four.<\/p>\n
The pair have already won four ATP Tour titles this season, including their first Masters 1000 title on clay at last month’s Madrid Open.<\/p>\n
They will face Dutch pair Sander Arends and David Pel or French duo Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara reached the French Open men’s doubles semi-finals as they continued their bid for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":619178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-619177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=619177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/619178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=619177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=619177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=619177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
