This is Sania’s best mixed doubles performance at the All England Club. She had previously reached the quarterfinals in 2011, 2013 and 2015.
The win also takes the Indian one step closer to a Career Slam in mixed doubles. Sania, along with Mahesh Bhupathi, won the mixed doubles titles at 2009 Australian Open and 2012 French Open before going all the way at the 2014 US Open with Bruno Soares of Brazil.
In the last four fixture, the Indo-Croatian pair will face either seventh seeds Robert Farah of Columbia and Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia or second seeds Neal Skupski of Great Britain and Desirae Krawcyzk of the US.
Sania, who has already announced her retirement at the end of this season, and her Czech partner Lucie Hradecka had earlier lost in the opening round of women’s doubles event.
