Pavić and Arévalo fall in Wimbledon men's doubles final

Croatian tennis player Mate Pavić and his Salvadoran partner Marcelo Arévalo were defeated in the Wimbledon men's doubles final. The top-seeded pair of Harri Heliovaara of Finland and Henry Patten of Great Britain won the match 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3) after one hour and 42 minutes of play.

Neither Pavić nor Arévalo managed to break their opponents' serve during the entire match. This marks Pavić's fifth semifinal appearance on Wimbledon's grass courts in men's doubles. He previously won the title in 2021 with Nikola Mektić and was a finalist the following year.

For Arévalo, this was his first Wimbledon final appearance. Pavić, a 33-year-old from Split, has achieved Grand Slam success across all four major tournaments. He won the Australian Open in 2018 with Oliver Marach, the US Open in 2020 with Bruno Soares, Wimbledon in 2021 with Mektić, and Roland Garros in 2024 with Arévalo.

Heliovaara and Patten secured their third Grand Slam title as a pair, having previously won Wimbledon two years ago and the Australian Open last year. Pavić and Arévalo will share a prize of 450,000 euros, while the champions received double that amount.
