Great Britain's Henry Patten and Finland's Harri Heliovaara saved three championship points on their way to winning a thrilling men's doubles final at Wimbledon.

Patten, 28, and Heliovaara, 35, clinched a superb 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (10-8) 7-6 (11-9) victory against Australian 15th seeds Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson, to the delight of a large crowd on Centre Court on Saturday.

The successful pair dropped to their knees in celebration having clinched a remarkable win.

They had come into the tournament unseeded after only starting to work together in April.

It means there has been a British winner in the men's doubles in consecutive years after Neal Skupski joined Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands to take the title in 2023.
