June 30, 2011 06:42 pm | Updated 11:46 pm IST - London

The Indian pair of Rohan Bopanna and Sania Mirza routed Czech duo of Martin Damm and Renata Voracova 6—3 6—0 to breeze into the mixed doubles quarter—finals of the Wimbledon Championships here.

There was no stopping the sixth—seed Indians after they took the first—set lead and then it proved just a stroll in the park.

They will next face the winner of the other third round match between 15th seed Andy Ram and Meghann Shaughnessy and unseeded pair of Paul Hanley and Su—Wei Hsieh.

Sania has also reached the women’s doubles semifinals along with Russian partner Elena Vesnina.

She though made a first round exit from the singles as she played through pain in her left knee.
