Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten kept Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool waiting in their pursuit of Year-End ATP Doubles No. 1 presented by PIF honours on Saturday at the Rolex Paris Masters.
The third-seeded Heliovaara and Patten eased past Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert 6-3, 6-4 in the French capital to reach their maiden ATP Masters 1000 final as a team. They converted four of 11 break points they earned in their 69-minute triumph, according to Infosys ATP Stats.
Heliovaara and Patten are fourth in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings. Had they lost on Saturday, the door would have been open for Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool to secure Year-End No. 1 in the day’s second semi-final in Paris.
Cash and Glasspool did ultimately defeat Francisco Cabral and Lucas Miedler 6-4, 5-7, 10-7, and the all-British duo will ensure they end the year as World No. 1 by lifting the trophy on Sunday. Should Heliovaara and Patten triumph in Paris, however, the Year-End No. 1 battle will continue into the Nitto ATP Finals, where both teams will compete.
The Paris title match will be the fifth tour-level meeting between Cash/Glasspool and Heliovaara/Patten, with all of those matches coming in 2025. Cash and Glasspool lead 4-0 in the two teams’ Lexus ATP Head2Head series, but three of those clashes have gone to a deciding set or Match Tie-break.
