| Tuesday, 1 July 2008 Written by Ian Baker After the fourth-round thriller involving Andy, things got even better for the Murray household as Jamie safely progressed to the quarter-finals of the mixed doubles with partner Liezel Huber. Last year’s winner, with Jelena Jankovic, and American Huber comfortably beat Julian Knowle of Austria and Yung-Jan Chan of Taipei 6-4, 6-3. The first set went with serve until Murray and Huber broke at the ideal opportunity, with Knowle serving at 4-5. A great return by Murray and fine volleying by Huber on break and set point put them in charge. Murray and Huber looked comfortable on serve and broke again thanks to a fine volley by Murray with Chan serving at 1-2 in the second set. The match continued with serve until Murray powerfully served out the match. The pair will play Canadian Daniel Nestor and Chia-Jung Chuang of Taipei in the quarter-finals after they saw off Belarusians Max Mirnyi and Olga Govortsova 6-3, 7-6 (7-4). Elsewhere, Andy Ram’s day improved as it wore on. Ram and Jonathan Erlich had been knocked out of the men’s doubles earlier in the day by Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes. But in partnership with Natalie Dechy, Ram successfully overcame the challenge of American Scott Lipsky and Australian Casey Dellacqua 6-3, 7-5 to reach the quarter-finals of the mixed. Earlier, Zimbabwe’s Cara Black, a mixed doubles winner in 2004, and partner Paul Hanley of Australia won the final senior second-round match of the Championships. Yves Allegro of Switzerland and Hungary’s Agnes Szavay were swept aside 6-4, 6-4.
