A former Ipswich schoolboy has won his second title at Wimbledon.
Henry Patten, who studied at the Ipswich School, made it another win in the men's double with his Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara after defeating Thanasi Kokkinakis and Aleksandar Kovacevic 7-6 , 7-6 in Thursday's semi-final.
Today, they faced El Salvador's Marcelo Arevalo and Croatia's Mate Pavic, who beat them in the final at Queen's Club last month.

Patten, who is also a big fan of the Blues, won in a superb tie-break victory at Wimbledon in 2024, with he and his partner saving three championship points in the second set.
The previous win made Patten, from Manningtree, the first home winner of the 2024 Championships and only the third British player to win the men’s doubles Wimbledon title in the Open era after Jonny Marray and Neal Skupski.
Patten and Heliovaara first teamed up only three months before lifting the Wimbledon title in 2024.
Since then, they have added the Australian Open crown and the ATP Finals title to their growing list of achievements.
