The Chan sisters both advanced to the quarter-finals of the mixed doubles at the French Open on Sunday, but fellow Taiwanese Chuang Chia-jung bid au revoir to the red clay courts in Paris.

Top seeds Chan Hao-ching and Jamie Murray had to rally from a set down to oust Alla Kudryavtseva of Russia and Rohan Bopanna of India 2-6, 6-3, 10-8 in their second-round match on Court 17 at Roland Garros.

The Taiwanese-British duo saved three of the six break points they faced and converted two of three, winning 59 of the 111 points contested to advance to a quarter-final against sixth seeds Andrea Hlavackova of the Czech Republic and Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France.

On Court 10, seventh seeds Chan Yung-jan and Max Mirnyi completed a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Serbian duo Jelena Jankovic and Nenad Zimonjic.     [FULL  STORY]
