Yay, well done. Especially impressive second set scoreline.

Henry is showing as live ranked 99. Could still get edged out of the top 100 by a couple of players but the odds are that it's already enough.

Julian is live 101. The title would probably see them both into the top 100 in Monday's rankings.

Fantastic and both go top 100!

Really pleased for both

From steven:

"Those places in the top 100 will be very well-deserved for @cash_julian & Henry Patten, who now have a 90% record in finals together, having won 3 out of 3 M25 finals in April and May then 6 out of 7 Challenger finals from June onwards. 9 titles from 10 finals in just 7 months!"

Never knew Henry Patten as a younger player, though love the 'bad boy' stories

Was always convinced that Julian's path lay in doubles, he's one of the few where that was pretty obvious.

Great achievement, and in quick time, too.

Definitely a great season - Julians 12th and Henrys 11th titles
Of the season! 9 of them together

Love this pair. Really hope to see them go much higher in the top 100. Congratulations guys, Fantastic season and fantastic results.

It's just great when you see players who've worked hard finally start to be able to make a living from it. Not to say it's lucrative, but it's heart-warming when they find their groove and break through. Skies the limit for these two.

Exactly. It backs up that it is possible if you work hard enough and want it bad enough.

A lot of credit goes to the US college system too

They work very hard on doubles, it's a key team element, and the coaches there for doubles are excellent. It's no wonder that players like Joe Salisbury, Dom Inglot, etc, as well as Henry and Julian, are products of the college system.

And if they the guys keep climbing it will begin to indeed be much more lucrative as has turned out the case with some other Brits thst have chosen the doubles route.
