Leander Paes and Martin Damm had things their way en route to the pre-quarter-finals of the men's doubles at Wimbledon on Saturday.

The Indo-Czech pair defeated Jan Hernych and David Skoch of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in the second round.

Meanwhile, it was a day of mixed luck for the Indian colts at the Grand Slam grass court tournament, with Sanam Singh advancing to the second round and Sanaa Bhambri bowing out after a first round defeat.

Sanam, the eighth seed, ousted Venezuelan Roberto Maytin 6-1, 6-2 in the boys' singles while Sanaa went down by an identical scoreline to Yung-Jan Chan of Chinese Taipei in the women's singles junior championship.
