Tennis-Mauresmo reaches Amelia Island quarters

AMELIA ISLAND, Florida, April 10 (Reuters) - Twice grand slam winner Amelie Mauresmo overcame a first-set wobble to defeat Agnieszka Radwanska 3-6 7-5 7-6 and reach the quarter-finals of the Amelia Island Championships on Thursday.

Mauresmo, seeded 11th, successfully landed 86 percent of her first serves in the opening set but her Polish opponent was able to record the only service break.

The 28-year-old Frenchwoman recovered in the second set and won the third-set tiebreak over the seventh seeded Radwanska 8-6.

In the quarters, Mauresmo will face the winner of the match later on Thursday between second seed Anna Chakvetadze and Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia. (Reporting by Steve Ginsburg in Washington; Editing by Clare Lovell)
