Workin' Overtime
If Amelie Mauresmo ends up earning the $95,000 winner's check from the Pilot Pen Tennis tournament, she might want to look into receiving a little overtime pay, as well.
For the second straight day, Mauresmo battled through a grueling three-set match on Wednesday, this time holding on for a 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (8) victory over fifth-seeded Patty Schnyder on Stadium Court.
One more fault away from an early ouster, Mauresmo held consecutive serves in the tiebreaker to go up, 7-6, and won it when Schnyder hit a return shot into the net to complete the 2-hour, 9-minute match.
The day before, Mauresmo took 2:38 to dispatch Kaia Kanepi in a three-setter.
Mauresmo will face fourth-seeded Agnes Szavay in an intriguing quarterfinal match today.
