Defending champions Leander Paes and his Swiss partner Martina Hingis were knocked out of the Wimbledon after losing their third round clash in the mixed doubles event.
Despite claiming the opening set, the Indo-Swiss pair failed to sustain the momentum as they were beaten 6-3, 3-6, 2-6 by Finland's Henri Kontinen and Heather Watson of Britain.
