MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Finland's Harri Heliovaara and Briton Henry Patten fought back from a set down to win the Australian Open men's doubles title on Sunday, defeating Italians Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori 6-7(16) 7-6(5) 6-3.
The victory gave Heliovaara and Patten their second Grand Slam crown after they triumphed at Wimbledon last year, while for the Italians it was more heartbreak after losing both the Australian and the French Open finals last year.
