Heliovaara and Patten Win the ATP Finals by Taking Revenge Against the Pair Salisbury/Skupski
The doubles final of the ATP Finals pitted Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten against Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski. The four men had already faced each other four days earlier in the group stage, which saw the all-British pair win.
But this Sunday, the outcome was entirely different. Heliovaara and Patten secured the only break of the first set in the 12th game, allowing them to take the first set and start the second on serve.
In the second set, the Finn and the Brit again conceded no break points and took their opponents' serve in the 6th game. They ultimately won 7-5, 6-3 and claimed the Masters title.
