London, Great Britain, 4 July 2022 | Leigh Rogers

Ellen Perez has stormed into her first Grand Slam ladies’ doubles quarterfinal in emphatic fashion.

The 26-year-old Australian and American partner Nicole Melichar-Martinez scored a commanding 6-1 6-1 victory against Poland’s Magdalena Frech and Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia in third-round action at Wimbledon.

The No.10 seeds needed just 56 minutes to secure victory, with Perez and Melichar-Martinez conceding only nine points on serve and not facing a break point in the match.

This sets up a quarterfinal showdown with second-seeded Czechs Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova.

However, Perez’s mixed doubles campaign is over. Defending champions Desirae Krawczyk and Neal Skupski scored a 7-5 6-2 victory against Perez and Dutch partner Matwe Middelkoop in the second round.

John Peers and Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski booked their spot in the mixed doubles quarterfinals with a 4-6 6-3 6-0 win over Brazilians Haddad Maia and Bruno Soares.

Sam Stosur and Matt Ebden were also winners, claiming their rain-delayed first-round match in three sets against recent Roland Garros finalists Ulrikke Eikeri of Norway and Belgian Joran Vliegen.
