Sania Mirza and her doubles partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands sailed into the second round at Wimbledon after a big win over Desirae Krawczyk and Alexa Guarachi in the first round of the women's doubles competition.
Sania-Bethanie had a special guest in attendance. Cheering them on at SW19 was Sania's son Izhaan Malik Mirza.
In pictures Bethanie posted on her Facebook page, Izhaan is seen smiling adorably while his mum and her partner can barely contain their joy on stunning the 6th seeds Krawczyk and Guarachi in the opening round at Wimbledon.
Sania and Bethanie won 76 points, 17 more than their opponents.
Sania will also be seen in action in the mixed doubles where she has paired up with Rohan Bopanna and will face compatriots Ankita Raina and Ramkumar Ramanathan in the first round of the mixed doubles at Wimbledon.
