Adjust font size:

China's dynamic duo, Zheng Jie and Yan Zi, has made to the third round at the Wimbledon Grand Slam after knocking out a ninth-seeded Swiss/Aussie mixed double with 6-4, 4-6 and 6-4.

This is the second time the pair has booked a position in the last 16 at a Grand Slam tournament, following their performance at the Australian Open in January.

Since Sun Tiantian and Li Ting were eliminated, the Zheng/Yan team has remained China's only hope in the all-England club.

The pair broke early in Game One of the first set and clinched the set with 6-4. But they lost the initiative in the second set when their counterpart revived from a 4-2 down to a 6-4 win.

In the decider, the Chinese rallied, breaking the stalemate first in game three and taking advantage of the chance to rack up the final victory with another 6-4.
