Meet Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara Mens Doubles Wimbledon Champions 2024.

The pair started playing together earlier this year and started winning tournaments pretty much immediately. They quietly made their way through the Wimbledon doubles draw and played one of the matches of the tournament to win the title.

Once pretty much unknown they have been thrust into the spotlight and are helping shine a light on the doubles game as they make their way through the US Swing.

The Mens doubles tour has seen some new trials and innovations come through this year and Harri recently was mic'd up for their first match at the Mubadala Citi DC Open.

Hopefully teams like Henry and Harri and these new innovations can reinvigorate the doubles game and get us all watching more doubles.
