Briton in Wimbledon final

Big brother revived British hopes of Wimbledon glory as Jamie Murray reached the final of the mixed doubles.

The 21-year-old Scot combined with Serbia's Jelena Jankovic, a partnership formed on a whim but fashioned into sublimity, to beat Canada's Daniel Nestor and Russian Elena Likhovtseva, the 11th seeds, 6-4 4-6 6-4.

Their final opponents on Sunday will be either fifth seeds Jonas Bjorkman, of Sweden, and Australian Alicia Molik or French pair Fabrice Santoro and Severine Bremond.

Fresh from a gruelling two-and-a-half-hour quarter-final against ninth seeds Marcin Matkowski (Poland) and Cara Black (Zimbabwe) on a packed Court Two, the Scottish-Serbian pair still had enough stamina to see off the 11th seeds in an entertaining three-setter.
