Fifth seeded Mauresmo reaches quarterfinals for the first time since April

Former No. 1 and Grand Slam winner Amelie Mauresmo breezed through to the next round on Thursday, along with Aleksandra Wozniak, who also won her second round match easily.

French Mauresmo completely demolished her second round opponent, Yanina Wickmayer, in straight sets, 63 61. This is the fifth time in her career that Mauresmo has reached the quarterfinals, the latest being in Amelia Island in April.

"I was looking for some rhythm, which I found and I was able to play well," said Mauresmo after the match.

In the quarters, Mauresmo will face American Vania King, who won her second round match to wildcard Jamea Jackson, 61 64.

Wozniak is through to the quarters after beating Ukrainian Julia Vakulenko, 62 63. This is Wozniak's second win over Vakulenko, as she now leads 2-1 in head-to-head results.

"It went really well. I thought I played aggressively especially at the beginning of the first and second set," said the Canadian. "I played deep and she would step up and play her game, but she didn't return some of my balls because they were too deep."

The Canadian will next battle Nathalie Dechy, who defeated No. 4 seed Katarina Srebotnik on Wednesday in the second round.

"I've never player her before," said Wozniak about Dechy. "But I see that she played well and I look forward to a good match."
