This marks the first time either player have reached the final of a major tournament, and they’ve done so in impressive fashion – dropping just one set across five matches.

With the championship match set for just two days’ time, the 28-year-old will now bid to become the third British champion in the Open Era to etch his name onto the men’s doubles trophy at the All England Club.

Speaking of reaching a career-first Grand Slam final, Finland's Heliovaara said, “It's pretty amazing, of course - it’s something you dream of.

“As a little boy everyone wants to play in a Wimbledon final and here we go, on Saturday that’s going to happen – we can’t ask for more!"

Patten and Heliovaara, who are unseeded at this year’s Championships got off to a dominant start in their semi-final battle on No.1 Court – dropping just three points on serve to take a one set lead.

The Brit was particularly impressive on the return, as he looked to apply the pressure on his compatriot and the Kiwi star across the net. With the second set looming towards a tie-break, the in-form duo raced to a 4-0 lead before the Heliovaara crushed a clean backhand winner down the line before erupting into a roar of celebration.

“Obviously I started pretty strong on the return,” Patten said. “Those two (Skupski and Venus) have pretty mean serves so to be able to put a bit of pressure on them early was amazing.

"Then I kind of tapered off a bit and Harri really stepped up his game in the second set, so we were able to create constant pressure on them with our returning. In the second set tie-break we both came together - it was a huge strength of ours today.”

The British, Finnish pair only joined forces three months ago for the start of the clay court swing but were a formidable duo from day one – winning 28 of the 32 matches they’ve played so far and clinching two ATP 250 titles and one Challenger trophy so far.

While they've already tasted title success on the ATP tour, Patten and Heliovaara have well and truly thrived in SW19, taking down fourth seeds and reigning Roland Garros champions Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo on their journey to the final. But what’s been the determining factor behind their success in South West London so far?

“We finally found ourselves on the grass, I think we’ve been waiting for that,” Heliovaara smiled. “Obviously we played on clay for the first two months and thought that would be the most difficult surface for us, as we both prefer a faster surface. Now, here we are in a Wimbledon final, that’s what we’ve been waiting for the last two months.

“New partnerships often take a bit of getting used to,” Patten added. “Luckily for us in our first week we won the title in Marrakech so we had a long week with a lot of matches and immediately felt the click which as a doubles pair, is what you’re after.

“As a kid and a teenager I would’ve never dreamed of playing here (at Wimbledon) and as a professional tennis player it’s all you want to do, so we’re definitely taking it in our stride.”

The two-time ATP titlists are now just one win away from a fairytale ending at the All England Club. The only thing stepping their way? Australian duo Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell.

While Thompson and Purcell are typically known as singles players, they’ve had their fair share of success on the doubles court, having claimed three ATP titles this year, and like their upcoming opponents, have only lost four matches when they’ve teamed up for the doubles.

Thompson will join Patten and Heliovaara in contesting his first final at a major tournament this weekend, but for Purcell, he’ll be returning to the court that crowned him the men’s doubles champion back in 2022 alongside fellow Aussie, Matthew Ebden.

“We’re expecting it to be a very tricky match. They’re both singles players, are very good from the baseline but they play a lot of doubles which means they’ve really improved their skills around the net and those doubles specific skills. They’re a bit more experienced than us but as we’ve said every match, if we focus on our game and we’re able to bring that level then we can beat anyone!"

For Colchester-born Patten, winning a Grand Slam title would see him fulfil a life-long dream but to accomplish it on home soil, in front of his family, friends anda British crowd behind him would be the perfect storybook ending to incredible few months.

“I haven’t thought about that yet to be honest (winning a first Grand Slam title) – it’s such a big thing. I’d love to give you a beautiful answer but I’ve got no idea – I’ve never done it before, so I’ll have to let you know afterwards if it happens.

“Hopefully we’ll be able to use the British crowd, they’re great at getting behind the Brits and in that rivalry of Aussies vs Brits and it’ll be a great atmosphere on Centre Court. I'll have my whole family here. My girlfriend who lives in the States is flying over here for the final and a couple of my university friends are here, basically whoever wants in, gets in.

“Planes from Finland are going to be full," Heliovaara laughed. "I’m lucky to have my wife, our three-year-old and my son who is turning one on the day of the final so those are some special supporters.”

This year's men's doubles final will take place on Saturday 13 June. With Patten and Heliovaara having proved tough to break down so far, will their scorching start to their doubles partnership be able to carry them all the way to a maiden Grand Slam trophy in SW19?
