Heather Watson and Henri Kontinen reach the mixed doubles final at Wimbledon with a straight-sets win over Jelena Ostapenko and Oliver Marach.

Britain's Heather Watson and Finland's Henri Kontinen have reached the mixed doubles final at Wimbledon.

The 24-year-old had a disappointing run in the singles as she was beaten in the first round and later fined $12,000 (£9,294) for damaging the court with her racket.

However, she has bounced back in the doubles and could win her first Wimbledon title on Sunday after she and Kontinen defeated Oliver Marach and Jelena Ostapenko 7-6(1) 6-3 this afternoon.

It was a wobbly start for Watson and her teammate as they lost their opening service game, but they managed to recover by breaking later in the set to draw 4-4.

Watson and Kontinen stormed through the deciding tie-break 7-1 before taking a crucial 3-2 lead in the second on their third break point.

The pair broke again to wrap up the set and book a spot in tomorrow's final.
