London: It was a brilliant day for Indian tennis aces Leander Paes and Sania Mirza as both entered the finals at the prestigious Wimbledon in their respective categories but with the same partner, Swiss veteran Martina Hingis, here on Friday.

While Mirza and Hingis needed only 56 minutes to thrash American fifth seeds Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears 6-1, 6-2 in their women's doubles semifinal, Paes and Hingis overcame American top seeds Mike Bryan and Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-3, 6-4 in an hour and 12 minutes to enter the mixed doubles summit clash.
