Dellacqua in mixed doubles quarter-finals

There’s still interest for Australian and British fans at Wimbledon where Casey Dellacqua and Jamie Murray are chasing their second mixed doubles titles, but first as a team.

Murray, 28, partnered Jelena Jankovic to the Wimbledon mixed title in 2007 and he and Dellacqua beat Indian Sania Mirza and Romanian Horia Tecau 7-5 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals on Thursday.

Dellacqua is also targeting her second mixed doubles grand slam title, having combined with Scott Lipsky to triumph at the 2011 French Open.

They go on to face Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Chinese Taipei’s Chan Hao-ching on Friday.

Murray was not the only British winner in the mixed doubles, as the home-grown duo of Naomi Broady and Neal Skupski also reached the last eight, coming from behind to win 4-6 6-3 6-4 against Romanian Florin Mergea and Ukrainian Elina Svitolina.

Their next opponents will be Pakistan’s Aisam Qureshi and Russian Vera Dushevina.
