Great Britain’s Henry Patten and Finland’s Harri Heliovaara are beaten in the French Open men’s doubles final. The second seeds reach the title match without dropping a set in earlier rounds, but they are outplayed by the top pairing of Spain’s Marcel Granollers and Argentina’s Horacio Zeballos. In the final, Granollers and Zeballos defeat Patten and Heliovaara in straight sets, reversing the dominance Patten and Heliovaara showed throughout the tournament. The two British-linked players had entered the final as favourites based on their form and seeding, yet the opponents prove more effective on the day. The result crowns Granollers and Zeballos as French Open men’s doubles champions and ends Patten and Heliovaara’s campaign at the final hurdle.
