Heliovaara & Patten capture Paris crown, extend Year-End No. 1 race
Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten captured their first ATP Masters 1000 title on Sunday at the Rolex Paris Masters, where they defeated second seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool 6-3, 6-4.
With their championship-match victory, Heliovaara and Patten ensured that the battle for ATP Year-End No. 1 Doubles presented by PIF honours will go down to the wire at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. Had Cash and Glasspool captured their eighth title of the season, they would have secured that honour.

In a fearless final display, Heliovaara and Patten saved all three break points they faced, according to Infosys ATP Stats, which all came in a crucial fifth game. The win also marked a breakthrough for the Finnish-British duo, who had lost all four previous Lexus ATP Head2Head meetings with Cash and Glasspool earlier in 2025.
“It’s amazing. We are two very happy happy boys,” said Patten. “Julian and Lloyd are the best pair in the world right now. We’re still 4-1 down and still have a lot of catching up to do. We’re extremely proud of the performance and there’s no better place to do that in Paris.”
With their win, Heliovaara and Patten jumped up to second in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings, now just 1,305 points behind first-placed Cash and Glasspool.
“I had one other team that I lost four times in a row to,” added Heliovaara, who competed alongside Glasspool between 2021 and 2023. “I told them after the fifth that ‘No one beats Harri five times in a row’. We learned from those previous matches. It’s such a weird dynamic [with Cash/Glasspool], we’re such good friends until 10 minutes before we step on the court, and then it’s battle, battle, battle.”
Heliovaara and Patten’s breakthrough in Paris marked their third title of the season, including victory at the Australian Open. They will now reset before heading to the Nitto ATP Finals, where they made their team debut last year.
“We’re really excited to play Turin,” said Patten. “Our number one goal is to enjoy the week and hopefully we can play some good tennis.”
