Patten was fined on June 29 for what multiple British media outlets described as alleged verbal abuse of a staff member at an off-site practice ground. Patten told local media that he has filed an appeal that will be handled after the tournament.
Patten and Heliovaara were eliminated in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
