It was a day of mixed emotions for Taiwan’s Chan sisters at Wimbledon on Monday, with elder sister Chan Yung-jan advancing to the third round of the mixed doubles, while younger sister Chan Hao-ching bade farewell to the grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis Club for another year.

Fifth seeds Chan Yung-jan and Nenad Zimonjic took just 47 minutes to see off Oksana Kalashnikova of Georgia and Matwe Middelkoop of the Netherlands 7-5, 6-1 in the second round of the mixed doubles.

The Taiwanese-Serbian duo fired five aces, hit 11 winners and converted four of six break points, winning 61 of the 101 points contested to set up a third-round clash with Scott Lipsky of the US and Alla Kudryavtseva of Russia, who ousted Taiwan’s Chuang Chia-jung in the second round on Sunday.

In was not such a good day for fourth seeds Chan Hao-ching and Max Mirnyi of Belarus, who crashed out of the second round after a 7-5, 6-2 defeat to Gabriela Dabrowski and Nicholas Monroe in 57 minutes.     [FULL  STORY]
