London: India's Leander Paes entered the semifinals of the mixed doubles event even as Sania Mirza crashed out in the quarterfinals at the Wimbledon, here today.

While seventh seeded Paes and his Swiss partner Martina Hingis took little time to brush aside the challenge of
unseeded Polish-Russian combination of Marcin Matkowski and Elina Vesnina 6-2 6-1 in just 44 minutes, second seeds Sania and Bruno Soares of Brazil were stunned 6-3 6-7(8) 7-9 by fifth seeds Alexander Peya of Austria and Timea Babos of Hungary in two hours and 21 minutes.
