Wimbledon men’s doubles winners Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten said on court:
Heliovaara: “I admit we got a little lucky today but sometimes you need luck to win a tennis match. We will definitely enjoy this. The tears say it all, it’s very emotional.”
Patten: “You’re all amazing out there. I can’t really remember what happened to be honest, I’m sure Harri’s the same. For me, the most special thing is to do it in front of so many people who have come over. My family members, my friends – thank you all.”
