A rested Amelie Mauresmo breezed through her first match at the Pilot Pen tournament, making a strong start to her final tuneup before the U.S. Open by beating Elena Likhovtseva on Wednesday night. The second-seeded Mauresmo won 6-1, 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals. She and top-seeded Lindsay Davenport would meet in the final if they each win their next two matches.
