As for the previous rounds, Cara and Liezel had to fight hard to qualify for next round. Being down 4-6 and 1-3, they could rise their level and score the next 11 games, to win it eventually 4-6 / 6-3 / 6-0.

In the next round, the World number one doubles team and winners here in 2005 and 2007 will play against the 4th seed of the tournament, the defending champions, Serena Williams and Venus Williams. This is the first time these two teams, who have won most of the Grand Slam titles over the past three years, will play opposite each other. Full draw here

Today was a tough day for Liezel, who had to play her mixed doubles third round match just after the ladies doubles quarterfinal. And once again, it's been a very tough match against Mike Bryan and Bethanie Mattek, that the American-Scottish team won 7-6 (7) / 4-6 / 6-3.

Interesting fact, this was the 5th time Bethanie and Liezel met on different sides of the net after winning that amazing match in Fed Cup on April 26th, and Liezel won 4 times (in ladies doubles in Madrid and Roland Garros with Cara against Bethanie and Nadia Petrova, and in mixed doubles in Roland Garros with Bob Bryan against Bethanie and Kevin Ullyett and in Wimbledon with Jamie Murray against Bethanie and Mike Bryan, vs 1 defeat in Stuttgart with Cara vs Mattek/Petrova).

So both Liezel and Cara are still in these two tournaments. Tomorrow, Liezel and Jamie will play their quarterfinal match against Dlouhy and Benesova, while Cara and Leander Paes will meet Ai Sugiyama and Andre Sa. And on Friday, they will reunit for their ladies doubles semis against the sisters.

This is the fourth time Cara and Liezel play at the All England Club of Wimbledon together, and for the fourth time, they qualify for the quarterfinals, after winning it in 2005 and 2007, and reaching the semifinals in 2008. But today, the co ranked World number had to fight hard to win their third round match against the Czech duo Iveta Benesova and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova.

After a very slow start and the first set easily won 6-2 by the Czechs (with even a 0-4 lead in 15 minutes), the seeds 1 of the British grand Slam could bounce back on their favorite surface and win the second set 6-3. In the third, they could once again break at the most important moment (at 4-3 for them) and despite wasting 2 matchpoints on their opponents serve game, could conclude on their own. Final score 2-6 / 6-3 / 6-4.

In the next round, Liezel and Cara will play against Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez and Nuria Llagostera Vives from Spain. The match will probably be scheduled on Wednesday. Full draw here

Later today, Cara and her partner Leander Paes also qualified for the quarterfinals of the mixed tournament by defeating in a very suspenseful three set match the winners of the Australian Open earlier this year, Sania Mirza and Mahesh Bhupathi, 6-2 / 6-7 / 6-3, after being down 1-3 in the third set. Their next opponents on Wednesday will be either Rennae Stubbs and Magnus Lindstedt or Ai Sugiyama and Andre Sa. Full draw here

After their second round victory in the ladies doubles tournament at the All England club yesterday, Cara and Liezel were expected on the courts today to try to do the same in the Mixed doubles tournament. And they both qualified.

Cara and her partner Leander are into the third round without playing a match, as they were given a bye for first round as the top seeds of the tournament, and as their opponents in the second round Mara Santangelo and Michal Mertinak withdrew before playing today.

For Liezel and Jamie, the qualification to the third round took time and patience. As they won first set in a tie break 7-6 (3), their opponents, the seeds 10 f the draw, Yan Zi of China and Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia, fought back and won second set 6-3. In the final set, started after 9pm local time, and despite being broken first, Liezel and local hero Jamie Murray could regroup with the help of the crowd of court 2 and come back in the set? Then they broke again to finish the match on Jamie's serve game. Final score: 7-6 (3) / 3-6 / 6-3

In the next round, Cara and her Indian partner will play against an all Indian team, Sania Mirza and Paes' former doubles partner Mahesh Bhupathi, who are the 13th seeds of the tournament and very tough opponents, especially on grass. Liezel and Jamie don't know yet who their next opponents are, as the second round between Bethanie Mattek-Sands/Mike Bryan and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova/Philipp Petschner is yet to be played.

Tomorrow is a day off in Wimbledon, as the middle Sunday is every year. A time for both Liezel and Cara to relax, rest and appreciate their results in both tournaments so far. And then on Monday, they will be back on the courts to fight even harder on the London grass where they have both already enjoyed lots of success in the past years.
