• 1 minute read
Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic were crowned champions at the HSBC Championships after beating Britain's Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara in the final.
The fourth seeds upset the world No.1 duo 6-2, 6-4 to win their first Queen’s Club trophy as a team.
Pavic – who also won the title in 2022 – now has the most ATP doubles titles of any active player with 43, nine of which have come on grass.
They defeated three pairs with British players this week, including Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram in the first round, and Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool in the semi-finals.
"I’ve been playing Queen’s since, I don’t know, 2017, 2016, so it’s been great," said Pavic. "I always, always feel good to come here and come back to play. You guys (the crowd) are amazing and always bring a good atmosphere.”
Arevalo added, "It’s one of the greatest tournaments, which is amazing. It’s a pleasure to compete at this tournament and on this court. Seeing all the champions over the past series is something very special for me.”
Patten and Heliovaara leave The Queen’s Club having made a seventh ATP final already this season.
The duo currently top the team world rankings for this year and have already won an impressive four titles.
They now turn their attention to the Lexus Eastbourne Open before they attempt to replicate their 2024 Wimbledon title run.
"I would really, really like to thank you all for staying and watching us," Patten said to the crowd afterwards. "For me, playing at home is so special. We wish that we could’ve given you a bit more to cheer about today.
“It's an incredible event for us, and it's a real honour to be playing on this court - thank you very much.”
Arevalo and Pavic made an electric start, breaking Patten twice to take the opening set in just 29 minutes.
Patten and Heliovaara raised their level in the second set, but in the big moments, the fourth seeds had the edge.
They broke the British No.1 once again at 4-4, before comfortably holding to see out the title and finish the week without dropping a set.
