Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten defeated second seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool 6-3, 6-4 at the Rolex Paris Masters on Sunday to win their first ATP Masters 1000 title.

With victory in the championship match, Heliovara and Patten ensured that the battle for the first place in ATP year-end doubles, awarded by PIF honors, would go down to the last minute at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. Cash and Glasspool will receive that honor if they capture their eighth title of the season.

According to Infosys ATP statistics, Heliovala and Patten saved all three break points they faced in a fearless final game, all in the crucial fifth game. The win also marked a breakthrough for the Finnish-British pair, who had lost all four of their previous Lexus ATP Head2Head matches against Cash and Glasspool in early 2025.

“It’s great. We are two very happy boys,” Patten said. “Julian and Lloyd are the best combination in the world at the moment. We’re still 4-1 down and there’s still a lot of work to do. We’re very proud of our performance and there’s no better place to be in Paris.”

With the victory, Heliovara and Patten jumped to second place in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Team Rankings, currently only 1,060 points behind first-placed Kash and Glasspool.

“I’ve lost four times in a row to another team,” added Heliovaara, who played with Glasspool from 2021 to 2023. “I told them after the fifth game that ‘no one beats Harry five times in a row’. We learned from the previous games. It’s a weird dynamic.” [with Cash/Glasspool]we were such good friends until 10 minutes before we stepped on the field, and then it was fight, fight, fight. “

Heliovara and Patten’s breakthrough in Paris marked their third title of the season, which included victory at the Australian Open. They will now reset before heading to the Nitto ATP Finals, where they made their debut last year.

“We’re excited to play Torino,” Patten said. “Our first goal is to enjoy the week and hopefully we can play some good tennis.”
