After winning the Australian Open, Henry Patten and Harri Heliövaara also triumph at the ATP Finals.
Australian Open winners Henry Patten and Harri Heliövaara secured the doubles title at the ATP Finals tennis tournament.
Britain’s Patten and his Finnish partner defeated British duo Joe Salisbury/Neal Skupski 7-5, 6-3 in the final of the year-end tournament.
ATP Finals: German doubles team fails in the group stage
Heliövaara/Patten celebrated their first title at the ATP Finals and their fourth tournament victory on the tour this year. Salisbury/Skupski, meanwhile, extended a tragic streak: the two Brits lost their sixth final this year.
The German defending champions Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz had already failed in the group stage.
Last year, Krawietz/Pütz surprisingly became the first German doubles team in history to win the tournament, celebrating their greatest joint success. But two defeats in the group stage dashed all hopes early on this year.
