Into mixed semis

01 July, 2009 | 21:07

Jamie and Liezel Huber are through to the semi-finals of the mixed doubles at Wimbledon after a 7-6 (9-7) 4-6 6-3 victory over American sixth seeds Mike Bryan and Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

More good news came after their scheduled quarter-final opponents - Lukas Dlouhy and Iveta Benesova from the Czech Republic - pulled out, leaving the Scottish-American team just one match from the final.

Jamie and Liezel won the first set on a tie-break before losing the second.

But they came back in the decider to secure a win and keep alive their title hopes.
