Natela
Dzalamidze
of
Russia
and
David
Vega
Hernandez
of
Spain
lost
the
first
set
6-4
but
came
back
strongly
in
the
second
set
to
win
it.
However,
the
Indian
and
Croatian
mixed-doubles
pair
put
up
a
dominant
show
and
clinched
the
third
set
7(10)-6(3).
With
this
win,
Mirza
and
Pavic
progress
to
the
third
round
on
the
grass
court.

The
35-year-old
Indian
veteran
failed
to
get
past
the
third
round
of
the
mixed
doubles
at
Wimbledon
last
year
but
will
be
hoping
to
make
her
final
appearance
in
the
competition
special.

Earlier
on
Thursday
(June
30),
Mirza
played
her
last
women’s
doubles
match
in
the
competition
and
her
journey
in
the
Grand
Slam
came
to
an
end.
Sania
and
her
Czech
partner
Lucie
Hradecka
were
eliminated
in
the
opening
round
with
the
Polish-Brazilian
combination
of
Magdalena
Frech
and
Beatroz
Haddad
Maia
beating
them
4-6,
6-4,
6-2
in
a
hard-fought
three-setter.
Sania
won
her
doubles
title
with
legendary
Martina
Hingis
in
Wimbledon
in
2015.

After
losing
her
doubles
tie,
Mirza
said,
“I
am
going
to
miss
coming
and
competing
at
Wimbledon
but
I
think
it
is
time
to
move
on.
And
you
have
to
sort
of
understand
that
and
acknowledge
that
there
are
things
that
take
priority
over
winning
tennis
matches
and
competing
in
tennis
matches
and
that’s
where
I
am
in
life
right
now.
It’s
still
probably
not
sinking
in
as
much,
maybe
the
end
of
the
year,
maybe
US
Open
if
you
ask
me.
I
will
be
a
bit
more
emotional
about
it.”

“It
was
good
match.
We
had
a
set
in
a
break
and
to
get
broken
on
that
1-0
when
on
grass
court
that’s
what
happens,
right?
When
you
get
set
in
a
break
you
have
to
carry
that
momentum
forward
and
unfortunately,
we
were
not
able
to.
It’s
very
difficult,
especially
when
you
are
serving
and
it’s
people
who
are
serving
really
big,
which
we
were
today,
especially
one
of
them.
I
think
that
1-0
game
cost
us
a
lot
because
if
you
are
2-0
there,
you
will
probably
be
out
in
the
next
20-30
minutes
and
that’s
grass-court
tennis
for
you,”
Mirza
added.
