Wimbledon: Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza and her mixed double’s partner Mate Pavic gave their absolute best but were beaten by defending champions, Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk.

After reaching the semi-finals for the first time in mixed doubles, Sania Mirza and Mate Pavic’s magical journey came to a stop. They lost the match, 6-4, 5-7. 4-6.

After winning a hard fought first set, Mirza and Mate had the upper hand and the momentum going into the 2nd set.

But Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk did not give up till the end and ended up being triumphant. A similar pattern was seen in the decider set, where the Britain-American duo went on to win another closely fought set.
