Sania Mirza, who is making her final Wimbledon appearance, and Mate Pavic advanced to the second round of mixed doubles event with a hard-fought win over David Vega Hernandez and Natela Dzalamidze here on Friday. The Indo-Croatian duo won 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(3) in a first round match.
Sania Mirza's final Wimbledon appearance ended in disappointment as she and her Czech partner Lucie Hradecka were eliminated in the opening round with the Polish-Brazilian combination of Magdalena Frech and Beatroz Haddad Maia beating them 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in a hard-fought three-setter. Sania would have ideally preferred to last a bit longer in her swansong at the SW-19 but she will undoubtedly remember hallowed lawns where she won her maiden doubles title alongside Martina Hingis, back in 2015.
Serena Williams and Ons Jabeur will face Marie Bouzkova and Sara Sorribes Tormo in their opening encounter at the Eastbourne International women’s doubles.
Rafael Nadal on Sunday won a record-extending 22 Grand Slam title after beating Casper Ruud in the final of French Open men's singles final at the Court Philippe-Chatrier.

With the win, Nadal also became the oldest player to win the French Open final. As Nadal lifted his 14th French Open and 22nd Grand Slam title, social media erupted with praise for the 36-year-old Spaniard.
PARIS: Sania Mirza and her Czech partner Lucie Hradecka displayed fearless brand of tennis but much younger and superior American singles players Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula prevailed in the women's doubles third round of the French Open, here on Tuesday. Despite a combined age of 72 years, Mirza and Hradecka produced some high quality tennis but lost 4-6, 3-6 to Pegula, ranked 11th in the singles, and world number 23 Gauff. Mirza was impressive with her lower and angled forehands while Hradecka's power-packed backhand hitting from the baseline was a treat to watch but the Americans got those crucial points that dictated the outcome of the match.
Sania Mirza and Czech Lucie Hradecka used experience and their stellar power game to get their French Open campaign off to a telling start. The Indo-Czech pairing, aged 35 and 37 respectively, will go up against the Slovenian duo of Kaja Juvan and Tamara Zidansek in the second-round. “It’ll be similar to our first match, they’re also singles players, like in our opener (against Jasmine Paolini and Martina Trevisan),” the Indian said.
India's Rohan Bopanna and his Dutch partner Matwe Middelkoop marched into the pre-quarterfinals of the French Open men's doubles event with a straight set win over Andrey Golubev and Fabrice Martin here on Thursday.
