Britain’s Henry Patten and Finland’s Harri Heliovaara fell 6‑4, 6‑2 in the French Open men’s doubles final, ceding the trophy to top seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos. The Spanish‑Argentine duo wrapped the match in 76 minutes, securing their second consecutive Paris title. Patten and Heliovaara entered as the second‑seeded pair.

The British‑Finnish pair stormed to their first Roland Garros final without losing a set, building on Wimbledon 2024 and Australian Open 2025 victories. A 30‑year‑old Patten could have become the first Briton to claim the men’s doubles crown in the Open era. Granollers, 40, and Zeballos, 41, defended their title with composure. Their chemistry, honed over three seasons, proved decisive against opponent, including seasoned rivals.

Despite the loss, Patten and Heliovaara will leap to world number one in the doubles rankings when Monday’s update rolls out, ending a season that includes Grand Slam titles. Their partnership now tops the leaderboard and will face fresh challenges from emerging pairs as the tour heads into the summer swing.
