Samantha Stosur will compete for her second Wimbledon mixed doubles title on Sunday.

The Australian and Serbian playing partner Nenad Zimonjic won through to the decider by beating Pakistan's Aisam Qureshi and Russian Vera Dushevina 7-5 6-2 on Saturday.

The 15th-seeded duo will meet either Daniel Nestor and Kristina Mladenovic or Max Mirnyi and Hao-Ching Chan in the final.

Stosur is the last Australian to win the event at Wimbledon, combining with American Bob Bryan to triumph in the 2008 final.

She also won mixed doubles at the Australian Open in 2005 and has women's doubles titles at the US Open (2005) and French Open (2006).

Australia's top-ranked player, Stosur lost in the first round of singles to Belgian Yanina Wickmayer.
