Henry Patten (born 6 May 1996) is a British professional tennis player who specialises in doubles. He has been ranked by the ATP as high as world No. 12 in doubles, achieved on 19 August 2024. Patten has won four career doubles titles on the ATP Tour, including one Grand Slam tournament title at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, all alongside partner Harri Heliövaara. He also attained his career-high singles ranking of world No. 462 in September 2022.

He has also won 13 ATP Challenger doubles titles, 11 with Julian Cash. Ten of the titles came in 2022, a record for the most Challenger doubles titles accrued in a single season.[2][3]

Personal life

[edit]

Patten was born on 6 May 1996 in Manningtree, Essex, England. He attended Ipswich School and Culford School, before he enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where he played collegiate tennis.[4] He continued his postgraduate studies at Durham University (2019–2020).[5][6] During two of his university summer breaks, he worked for IBM as a courtside statistician at Wimbledon.[7][8]

Patten is also a chess enthusiast, often playing the game while on tour.[9][10]

College

[edit]

While at UNC Asheville, Patten became the No. 1 ranked NCAA doubles player and placed as high as No. 32 in singles.[9] In 2018 he was the first player in the history of his program to be selected for the singles draw of the NCAA Men's Tennis Championships.[11] At Durham he finished runner-up with Josip Krstanovic to fellow Durham students Julius Tverijonas and Or Ram-Harel in the 2019 BUCS Men's Doubles Championship.[12]

Career

[edit]

2022: Record Challenger titles in a season

[edit]

Patten won ten titles in 2022, breaking the record for most Challenger doubles titles in a single season with Julian Cash.[2]

2023: First ATP final, top 50

[edit]

Patten partnering with Julian Cash reached his first ATP final at the 2023 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships, losing to Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell in a deciding champions tiebreak.[13] He reached the top 50 on 22 May 2023.

2024: Wimbledon champion, Maiden ATP title, Davis Cup debut

[edit]

In April, Patten won his maiden ATP title at the Grand Prix Hassan II partnering with new partner Harri Heliövaara, defeating second seeded Austrian duo of Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler.[14][15] In May, Patten and Heliövaara defeated top seeds Andreas Mies and Neal Skupski in the final of the Turin Challenger.[16] Patten won his second title at the Lyon Open partnering also with Heliövaara. The duo defeated Albano Olivetti and Yuki Bhambri in the final.[17]

Patten and Heliövaara reached the final at Wimbledon, defeating Italian duo Andrea Vavassori and Simone Bolelli, Spanish duo Pedro Martínez and Jaume Munar, and then Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić in the quarterfinals,[18][19] Neal Skupski and Michael Venus in the semifinals.[20][21] They defeated Australian duo Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell in the final, in a three-setter with three tiebreaks, saving three match points, to win their first Grand Slam title together.[22][23][24][25] As a result he moved 25 positions up to a new career-high doubles ranking of world No. 17 on 15 July 2024 and to the top 15 three weeks later on 5 August 2024.[citation needed]

Seeded sixth at the US Open, Patten and Heliovaara reached the third round with a win over Flavio Cobolli and Dominic Stricker,[26] before losing to 11th seeds Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektić.[27]

Patten made his debut for the Great Britain Davis Cup team against Canada in Manchester, England, on 15 September, teaming with Neal Skupski to defeat Gabriel Diallo and Alexis Galarneau in a dead rubber after the tie was already lost following wins for the Canadians in both singles matches.[28][29]

Patten and Heliovaara were runners-up at the China Open in October, losing in the final to top seeds Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori.[30] The next week they won the Stockholm Open, defeating Petr Nouza and Patrik Rikl in the final.[31][32] They followed this by reaching the semifinals at the Vienna Open, losing in a deciding tiebreak to wildcards and eventual champions Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler after squandering two match points.[33]

Patten reached a career-high ranking of world No.15 on 28 October, becoming the British men's doubles No.1 for the first time.[34] His place alongside Heliovaara at the ATP Finals was also confirmed with the duo having secured a top eight spot in the ATP Doubles Race to qualify.[35][36]

At the ATP Finals, Patten and Heliövaara defeated world No.1 team Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in straight sets in their first group match.[37][38] In their second group match, they defeated US Open champions Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell in straight sets.[39][40][41] Patten and Heliövaara then secured first place in their group by winning their third match against Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektic in a deciding champions tiebreak.[42][43] They lost in the semifinals to top seeds Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić in two sets, both of which went to tiebreaks.[44][45]
