Heliovaara, Patten win Doha doubles title
Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten beat Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool to win the doubles title at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open on Friday. The third-seeded Heliovaara and Patten completed a spotless run to the ATP 500 title in Doha with a 6-3, 6-3 win over the top-seeded defending champions. Also winners in Adelaide, they became the second team to win multiple titles this season, joining Montpellier and Dallas champions Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti. After losing their first four meetings against Cash and Glasspool, Heliovaara and Patten have now reduced the deficit to 2-4 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. They also defeated the top seeds in the ATP Masters 1000 final in Paris in October. “We finished the end of 2025 really strong and just to keep that form in 2026, it’s been a dream six months for us,” said Heliovaara, who won his maiden Nitto ATP Finals trophy with Patten in November. “With Henry, it’s always lovely to play. I had my family here in Doha this week — my wife and two kids — so it's always special to travel with them.”
