The thrill of competition continues to motivate Martina Hingis even as she nears her 37th birthday.

She won four of the last five tournaments she has entered with partner Yung-Jan Chen of Taiwan, with the exception a loss in the semifinals at the French Open.
They advanced to the second round of the doubles tournament at Wimbledon on Friday, defeating Russian pair Natela Dzalamidze and Veronika Kudermetova 6-1, 6-3.
Hingis, who is from Switzerland, has also entered the mixed doubles tournament, partnering with Britain’s Jamie Murray - who won the competition in 2007 with Serbia’s Jelena Jankovic.

Muller, from Luxembourg, advanced to the fourth round for the first time in 10 appearances at the All England Club with a 7-6 (4), 7-5, 6-4 victory.
