Briton Patten reaches first Wimbledon doubles final

Henry Patten has reached his first Wimbledon men's doubles final by knocking out fellow Briton and 2023 champion Neal Skupski.

Patten, alongside Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara, beat ninth seeds Skupski and Michael Venus of New Zealand 6-4 7-6 (7-1) on Court One.

They will face Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson in Saturday's final after the Australian duo defeated Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos of Spain and Argentina respectively in straight sets.

The unseeded pair broke Venus' serve at the start of the match and held their break advantage right through a tense opening set.
