Leander Paes and Clara Black romped into the semi-finals of the mixed doubles at Wimbledon after an easy 6-3, 6-3 victory over Brazil's Andre San and Japan's Ai Sugiyama on Thursday.

The top seeded Indo-Zimbabwean pair needed just 65 minutes to overcome the 11th seeds in the quarter-finals.

They next meet Australia's Stephen Huss and Spain's Virginia Ruanao Pascual, who got the better of the fourth seeded Zimbabwe-Taipei combination of Kevin Ullyett and Su-Wei Hsieh 6-3, 5-7, 9-7 in another quarter-final.
