Former champions Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk beat Nathaniel Lammons and Alexandra Panova to progress to the mixed doubles quarter-finals at Wimbledon.

Briton Skupski and American Krawczyk, who won the title together in 2021 and 2022, took 53 minutes to win 6-4 6-2.

Liverpool fan Skupski wore a black ribbon on his T-shirt in tribute to their forward Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash on Thursday.

Skupski's men's doubles partner Joe Salisbury also won in the last 16 as he and Brazilian Luisa Stefani prevailed in two tie breaks to beat Andres Molteni of Argentina and American Asia Muhammad 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-5).

After winning the first set 7-6 (7-2), British duo Joshua Paris and Eden Silva secured their passage into the quarter-finals as opponents Robert Galloway of the USA and Indonesia's Aldila Sutjiadi retired.

But another all-British duo went out as David Stevenson and Maia Lumsden lost 6-3 6-4 to eighth seeds Mate Pavic and Timea Babos.
