Ukrainian Tetyana Perebiynis and Australian Paul Hanley lost in the final of the mixed doubles at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. On Wimbledon's centre court, Paul and Tetyana lost in two sets to India's Mahesh Bhupathi and France's Marie Pierce - 4:6, 2:6.
The opponents had better success with their first serve, and Marie Pierce was much more accurate than the Ukrainian in her finishing shots.
Despite the defeat, Perebiynis and Hanley can count reaching the Wimbledon final as an achievement. Along the way in the tournament, Tetyana and Paul knocked three seeded pairs out of the draw.
Taking part in the mixed doubles final became the highest result of the Kharkiv native's career at Grand Slam series tournaments both overall and for Ukrainian tennis players.
