They continue their stunning form this season with a seventh ATP final \u2013 including four titles.<\/p>\n
Off the back finishing runners-up at Roland Garros the two have bounced back incredibly well and are now be looking to add the HSBC Championships<\/a> to their trophy haul.<\/p>\n Patten will be aiming to become the fourth British champion at The Queen\u2019s Club in the last three years \u2013 following reigning champions Julian Cash<\/a> and Lloyd Glasspool<\/a>, and 2024 winner Skupski<\/a>.<\/p>\n The British star has enjoyed being back on home soil this week and has been relishing the atmosphere at The Queen\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing, especially in front of a home crowd,\u201d Patten said. \u201cIt means a lot to play at home in front of you all (the crowd). We had a great time.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to be a part of it (British doubles contingent). It\u2019s a golden age for British doubles.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a Brit I\u2019m typically pessimistic about most things, but about doubles, I\u2019m very optimistic. It\u2019s something we should cherish and be proud of as a tennis nation.\u201d<\/p>\n In the final, they will play Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic after they knocked out Cash and Glasspool 6-4, 6-3.<\/p>\n Patten and Heliovaara have won their last four meetings against the fourth seeds, including three matches this year.<\/p>\n It was a solid first set from the British-Finnish team \u2013 who had break points on all but one service game against Skupski and Harrison.<\/p>\n However, the tide quickly turned at the start of the second, with the Grand Slam champions racing out to an insurmountable 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n Going into the match tie-break it seemed like all momentum was with Skupski and Harrison, as their opponents wrestled to get their serve in rhythm again.<\/p>\n In the big moment, Patten and Heliovaara stepped it up. A couple of missed volleys from their opponents helped them take a 6-0 lead, and there was no coming back for Skupski and Harrison.<\/p>\n The doubles final will follow the singles final tomorrow at the HSBC Championships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara\u2019s 2026 season reached another high after the world No.1s defeated Neal Skupski and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-650856","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\/650856","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=650856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026-patten-heliovaara-hsbc-championships-sf.jpg\")
