Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara Reach French Open Men’s Doubles Semifinals

British player Henry Patten, partnering with Finland’s Harri Heliovaara, has secured a spot in the men’s doubles semifinals at the French Open. The duo continues their pursuit of a third Grand Slam championship together, having already claimed major titles at Wimbledon in 2024 and the Australian Open last year.

As the second seeds, Patten and Heliovaara advanced by defeating the Indian-Brazilian pairing of N Sriram Balaji and Marcelo Demoliner with a score of 6-3, 6-4. This victory marks the first time the pair has reached the final four at Roland Garros. Notably, they have yet to drop a set throughout the tournament in Paris.

The team enters the semifinals in strong form, having already secured four ATP Tour titles this season. This tally includes their inaugural Masters 1000 victory on clay at the Madrid Open last month. They will now compete for a place in the final against either the Dutch combination of Sander Arends and David Pel or the French pair of Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
