Lee-Martina failed to challenge powerful Aussie pair in their loss ... In the first set, Lee got broken twice and in the second Martina ... Sania-Dodig will face same Aussie pair in the semis.
Overall good performance by Zeel as she became only second Indian girl after legendary Rita Davar, who reached junior Wimbledon girls final in 1952, to reach quarter final stage at junior grand slam ... In this match, Zeel was matching Elena's game but Elena was more experienced and took match with single breaks in both sets.
