On Wednesday evening, Eastbourne grass also saw a match between Finns, when Ruusuvuori and his Australian partner Max Purcell faced Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten in the quarterfinals of the doubles.
Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten were digging Emil from Ruusuvuori and From Max Purcell of a routine doubles victory in two straight sets with 6–3, 6–4.
The serve of the Finnish-British duo was not broken once during the match, which especially satisfied Heliövaara.
– Clinically good performance. We played a very good game, especially in our own passes, which you have to be really satisfied with, Heliövaara told STT.
Heliövaara has been suffering from a shoulder injury in recent weeks, which forced him and Patten to withdraw from the French Open before the pair’s quarter-final match in early June.
However, the Finnish player assures that the injury is now history.
– Everything is fine with the shoulder, nothing to worry about. I can play normally, Heliövaara was happy.
In the semi-finals of the doubles, Heliövaara and Patten will face the Australians, who ranked third in the tournament of Matthew Ebden and of John Peers.
