A double fault from Harri Heliovaara leaves the score at 15-15, but he then makes the decisive shot in a rally at the net and then a superb lob, which he celebrate by punching the air.

We didn't have a break point in the first set, and we've not had one in the second set. Tie-break time again.

Heliovaara and Patten are the champions again if they take it.

Only the third deuce game of the match comes in the 11th game of the second set. A chance from Heliovaara and Patten, they would have been serving for the championship if they had won the next two points, but El Salvador's Marcelo Arevalo and Croatia's Mate Pavic win a vital game.

This is the chat you have: 'I'm going to serve there so you can look for the return there.'

Harri Heliovaara is really good at holding ground and picking those up. The return through the centre is just not going to work

Just like the first set, we're seemingly heading to a tie-breaker. Five-five, still on serve.

For the first time in this set we get to deuce. A chance for Heliovaara and Patten, but Mate Pavic holds his nerve on serve.

Pavic is going to get tight. When you have the opportunity you have got to get it to him.

It is hard to do, but he just hasn't found his complete groove on court.

Harri Heliovaara takes a high ball with a sweeping volley and it is good and that is a hold to 15 off his serve. A break next up and Patten would be serving for the tournament.

They are used to multiple pressure points coming at you in these games. When they don't play ad-deuces [on the tour] then you are in these pressure points all the time.

They play tie-breaks all the time throughout the year, it's very rarely when they don't play them.

Serving masterclass, with back-to-back aces from Marcelo Arevalo and a dominant hold to love.

An ace from Henry Patten down the middle takes Heliovaara and Patten to game point. Their opponents claw one point back, but Heliovaara powerfully dismisses a smash at the net to make it three games apiece.

The whole thing about the art of doubles is practicing the lob.

It probably isn't done, especially from guys who play mainly singles.

If you are a singles player and you play more doubles, the skills can transfer straight away.

Not a cloud in the sky on the second Saturday of Wimbledon 2026.

We haven't had a rain delay yet in this tournament - but there's still time...

Still to have one break point after five games of the second set. On serve in the second

A stretching volley from Patten, diverting the ball away for a fine winner, but then he does the same again and that is a hold to love off the Heliovaara serve.

We went to a first set tie-break and it already looks like the second set is heading that way too.

It is a match for the servers, but still plenty of exciting points to entertain the crowd in the hot conditions. All four players are close to the net with one point, as the ball pinballs around but it goes Arevalo and Pavic's way for another hold to 15.

Patten can't have meant that. Did he seriously really mean that shot?

Superb reflexes from Harri Heliovaara as the ball is driven at him at short distance but somehow manages to flick the ball over the net for a winner. That is then followed by a lovely cross-court winner from Henry Patten for a hold to 15.

Serving remains on top at the start of the second set as the duo of Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic start off with a hold to 15 off the Pavic serve.

They are halfway to another title here. Not a lot between the pairs, but just a better tie-break [for Patten and Heliovaara].

Harry Poole

Huge cheers on Centre Court! Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara are halfway there.

They only joined forces two years ago, but now they're one set from a third major title in as many years.

They continue to thrive in these tie-breaks. Nerves of steel.
