Britain’s Heather Watson and partner Henri Kontinen beat Oliver Marach and Jelena Ostapenko to reach the mixed doubles final at Wimbledon.

In winning 7-6 (7-1) 6-3 alongside Finland’s Kontinen, Watson becomes the first British female mixed doubles finalist since Jo Durie won the event alongside Jeremy Bates in 1987.

Watson, who is playing with Kontinen for the first time, said: “I’m very happy. We played so well today. I’ve said it a thousand times – I’m having so much fun on the court with Henri.”
