Rod Laver's sand was almost complete

An image that shows Rod Laver’s sand almost completely empty during a Grand Slam final last night has left one of the stars of the game, and many fans, asking that changes are made so that the scenes are never repeated.

Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten, playing partners who once strengthened their link with a pot of reindeer stew, celebrated wildly after claiming the crown of male doubles of the Australian Open on Sunday morning, local time.

The Finn-British match, sixth, overvalued Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori 6-7 (16-18) 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 in an epic final that continued up to 1.45 on Sunday tomorrow in Rod Laver Arena.

However, the program’s program after Madison Keys’s triumph in the final of female singles meant that the stands were almost completely devoid of fans despite the fact that the title was one of the most appreciated on the doubles tour.

In contrast, the women’s doubles final is scheduled for the local time of 3pm on Sunday, before Jannik Sinner defends his title against Alexander Zverev.

Subsequently, Vavassori asked the director of the Craig Tiley tournament to alter the schedule next year.

“Hopefully, next year you change the doubles of the doubles because I do not think it is good for the doubles that there are not so many people seeing,” he said, and many fans could not have agreed anymore.

“This match must be scheduled before the final of the female singles,” one wrote in Reddit.

Imagine that the UFC has the main event even before all heating fights. Why didn’t they have the double match before the final of the female singles? Another aggregate.

‘On Saturday they (the organizers of the tournament) spent the afternoon in the Junior finals, but I do not see why the Junior finals have to be played in RLA (Rod Laver Arena). AO is the only Slam that has Junior finals played on the biggest court. Move them to one of the other exhibition courts and schedule the doubles of the men for the 3PM ‘, wrote a third.

‘I bet that some people who do not have plans earlier in the day would appear before the doubles. Even if it were not for the beginning of the game, then in the end, ‘another commented.

The exciting clash was a third final defeat of Grand Slam for the Italian duo, which were defeated in the decision makers of Australia and France last year.

“What an incredible game,” said Patten in the presentation of the trophy.

‘Second consecutive year for you (Bolelli and Vavassori), but I know they will return.

“You showed such a good fight and there should not have been a loser of this game.”

Heliovaara and Patten only joined forces nine months ago, but they can already boast two important titles after winning Wimbledon last year: to overcome the Australian couple Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell in the final after saving three game points, and also enjoying of victories in Stockholm, Lyon and Marrakech.

The couple approached during a training block in Helsinki last October, where the Finn cooked their specialized reindeer dish for their British partner, and now they have stressed their status as one of the best matches in the world.

‘What trip have we been to. It is really special to share the court with Harri, “Patten said.

‘I would not like to do it with anyone else. Let’s move on.

The triumph was a complete circle moment for Heliovaara, who was linked to another British, Graeme Dyce, to win the children’s double title in Melbourne Park in 2007.

The 35 -year -old, who also associated with Anna Danilina to win the Mixed doubles title of the US Open 2023, thanked Patten for helping to achieve her last success.

‘It is a team sport, double. The most important thing is to find you a good partner and I have achieved it quite well, ‘said Heliovaara.

‘Not only on the tennis court but also outside the tennis court we are so good friends.

‘I think that keeps us together on the tennis courts and brings us titles like this. I am very grateful.

A marathon for the first time lasted 87 minutes and ended after midnight due to the longest tie -up of the male double tournament.

The Italians saved 10 adjustment points before converting their own sixth when Bolelli swept a right -wing winner on the line.

It was the first set that the couple had won in a Grand Slam final after the defeats of the straight sets in their two previous appearances.

The second set was equally tight, although it led to a faster conclusion when Heliovaara and Patten turned their first setting point in the tiebreaker.

Roared by a small band of Finnish fans in an increasingly smaller crowd, Heliovaara and Patten broke Bolelli’s service at the beginning of the third set and kept his own to seal the title.
