Patten and Finn Harri Heliovaara defeated Skupski and Michael Venus of New Zealand in the semi-finals.
Henry Patten won the battle of Britain against Neal Skupski in the men’s doubles to reach his first grand slam final at Wimbledon.
That continued on Court One on Thursday as they defeated Skupski, who won the title last year with former partner Wesley Koolhof, and New Zealander Michael Venus 6-4 7-6 .Patten, 28, said: “It feels pretty good. I am not sure it has quite set in. Even when Harri struck that return down the line, moments afterwards I don’t think it had hit us. Neither of us realised what had happened. It’s amazing.
Heliovaara said: “It was such a good match that we felt so comfortable on the court and it felt like it would happen. There were no question marks in the air when we play. We let it happen and then you enjoy it from the first point to the last.” Murray – champion back in 2007 with Jelena Jankovic and again in 2017 with Martina Hingis – and Townsend lost narrowly 7-6 6-7 to Jan Zielinski and Hsieh Su-wei.
