London, July 29 (IBNS): India's Sania Mirza and her American partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands cruised into the third round of the Wimbledon after their straight-set victory in the second round of the women's doubles competition here Friday.
The Indo-American pair, seeded 13th, won 6-3 6-2 win over unseeded French pair of Stephanie Foretz Gacon and Kristina Mladenovic in just 55 minutes at the All England Club here.
Sania and Bethanie dominated the proceedings by converting three of the five breakpoints, while their French duo failed to convert the only opportunity that came their way.
In the first set, Sania and Bethanie bagged 27 points as against only 17 won by their opponents.
Sania and Betahnie continued in the same breadth in the second set converting two of the three breakpoints and also managed to save the lone breakpoint that Stephanie and Kristina got.
Sania and Bethanie will next face the winner of the match between Russian duo of Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova and the Williams sisters -- Serena and Venus -- in the third round.
