Jamie Murray will attempt to reach his second Wimbledon final in the company of Liezel Huber of the US against the ninth seeds Mark Knowles and Anna-Lena Groenefeld in the mixed doubles semi-finals this afternoon.

Top seeds Leander Paes and Cara Black cruised through to the last four with a 6-3 6-3 victory over Andre Sa and Ai Sugiyama and they will meet 12th seeds Stephen Huss and Virginia Ruano Pascual.
