Wimbledon 2026 Doubles Champions: Heliövaara and Patten Retain, Guo and Mladenovic Triumph

The Wimbledon 2026 doubles competitions produced their champions across all three disciplines, with Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten crowned in the men’s event, Guo Hanyu and Kristina Mladenovic claiming the women’s title, and Marcelo Arévalo and Jeļena Ostapenko taking the mixed. Here is a full rundown of the doubles honours at this year’s Championships.

Men’s Doubles: Heliövaara and Patten Deliver Again

Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten produced a composed, clutch performance to win the gentlemen’s doubles title, defeating Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić 7-6(4), 7-6(3) in a final decided across two tense tie-breaks. The British-Finnish pairing held their nerve superbly in the biggest moments, and the victory carried special significance for Patten, who became the first British player to win the Wimbledon men’s doubles title twice in the Open Era.

Women’s Doubles: Guo and Mladenovic Prevail

The women’s doubles delivered a first-time Wimbledon champion, as No. 10 seeds Guo Hanyu and Kristina Mladenovic beat second seeds Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani 6-3, 7-5 in the final. It was a maiden Grand Slam title for China’s Guo and a landmark tenth major crown for the vastly experienced Mladenovic of France, whose big-match pedigree shone through on the sport’s grandest doubles stage.

Mixed Doubles: Arévalo and Ostapenko

Earlier in the Championships, Marcelo Arévalo and Jeļena Ostapenko had already lifted the mixed doubles trophy, coming from a set down to beat Marc Polmans and Storm Hunter 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. Arévalo’s brilliant fortnight thus yielded a mixed title and a run to the men’s doubles final, confirming his standing as one of the finest doubles players in the world.
