PARIS, June 2:
Leander Paes today inched closer towards completing a ‘Career Slam’ in mixed doubles with Swiss partner Martina Hingis but may find compatriot Sania Mirza in his way as the two Indian players reached the semifinals of the French Open, here today.
Unseeded Paes and Hingis scored a dominating 6-4 6-3 win over fifth seeds Elena Vesnina and Bruno Soares in the quarterfinals of the clay court Major.
Sania and her Croatian partner Ivan Dodig, seeded second, overcame a mid-match lapse to beat the seventh seeded Yung-Jan Chan and Max Mirnyi 6-1 3-6 10-6 in their quarterfinal.
Sania last won a mixed doubles Grand Slam trophy at 2014 US Open with her then partner Soares. (PTI)
