India's Sania Mirza and her Romanian partner Horia Tecau stormed into
the semi-finals of the mixed doubles event at the Australian Open with
straight sets victory over Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Julia Georges, here

Australian pair of Jarmila Gajdosova and Matthew Ebden in the
semi-finals.

quarter-final yesterday. Sania and Tecau got three opportunities to
break their opponents in the opening set, out of which they converted
one, which was enough for the Indo-Romanian pair to pocket the set in 28
minutes.Read more..
