Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten are starting to turn the tide in their Lexus ATP Head2Head rivalry with Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool after a composed victory in the championship match at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open on Friday.

Third-seeded Heliovaara and Patten completed a flawless run to the ATP 500 title in Doha with a 6-3, 6-3 win over the top-seeded defending champions. They were also winners in Adelaide, becoming the second team to win multiple titles this season, joining Montpellier and Dallas champions Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti.

After losing their first four meetings against Cash and Glasspool, Heliovaara and Patten have now cut the deficit to 2-4 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. They also defeated the top seeds in the ATP Masters 1000 final in Paris in October.

“We finished very strong at the end of 2025 and to maintain that form in 2026, it has been a dream for us for six months,” said Heliovaara, who won his first Nitto ATP Finals trophy with Patten in November. “It’s always fun to play with Henry. I had my family here in Doha this week – my wife and two kids – so it’s always special to travel with them.”

Heliovaara and Patten saved all seven break points they faced in the 69-minute final, according to Infosys ATP Stats. They now sit eight places higher at fifth in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings, continuing their strong start to the season.
