Great Britain's Henry Patten and Finland's Harri Heliovaara advanced to the Wimbledon semi-finals with a hard-fought comeback victory over Guido Andreozzi and Manuel Guinard. The top seeds, who won the title in 2024, secured their spot with a 2-6 6-4 7-6 (10-6) win, marking their second consecutive match requiring a 10-point tie-break. This marks their continued strong form after capturing the world number one ranking in June and winning the Australian Open earlier this year.

Patten and Heliovaara, who partnered in 2024, will face American Aleksandar Kovacevic and Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis in their quest for a fourth Grand Slam final appearance. Their journey highlights a successful partnership that quickly ascended to the top of men's doubles.

Meanwhile, defending champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, the first all-British men's doubles winners at Wimbledon in 89 years in 2025, will play Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic on Wednesday. Their potential advancement could set up an all-British semi-final, adding further intrigue to the tournament.
