Britain’s Henry Patten and Finnish team-mate Harri Heliovaara maintained their bid to reclaim the Wimbledon men’s doubles title by reaching the quarter-finals with a hard-fought comeback victory.<\/p>\n
World number one pairing Patten and Heliovaara, champions at the All England Club in 2024, defeated Czech duo Adam Pavlasek and Patrik Rikl 5-7 6-3 7-6 (10-6).<\/p>\n
The 2025 Australian Open winners, who have won 12 titles together since joining forces in 2024, will face Argentine Guido Andreozzi and Frenchman Manuel Guinard for a semi-final place.<\/p>\n
The other half of the draw still features Britain’s defending champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, and Neal Skupski, who is partnered by American Christian Harrison.<\/p>\n
Skupski is also through to the third round of the mixed doubles, alongside American Desirae Krawczyk, following the sixth seed’s 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 6-3 win against Portugal’s Francisco Cabral and Australian Ellen Perez.<\/p>\n
Joe Salisbury and Canada’s Leylah Fernandez also progressed with a 6-4 4-6 6-2 win against British duo Ben Jones and Maia Lumsden.<\/p>\n
But Glasspool and Slovakia’s Tereza Mihalikova were beaten 6-3 7-6 (7-3) by France’s Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Germany’s Laura Siegemund.<\/p>\n
Marcus Willis and Heather Watson are also out after losing to Harrison and China’s Zhang Shuai 6-2 7-6 (7-4).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Britain’s Henry Patten and Finnish team-mate Harri Heliovaara maintained their bid to reclaim the Wimbledon men’s doubles title…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-675826","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\/675826","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=675826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
