This is the write-up on her match with Myskina:
Three previous visits to Wimbledon brought Amelie Mauresmo little joy, with three wins to set against three defeats. Today came her best performance, a place for the first time in the fourth round and quite a bit of pain as well after she had defeated Russia's Anastasia Myskina 6-4, 6-2.
Mauresmo, the ninth seed, damaged her left leg in a fall when leading 4-1 in the first set and resumed after lengthy treatment with the limb heavily bandaged. Although this should have been the signal for Myskina to go on all-out attack, she was unable to take away the initiative from the French girl, who will be 23 next week.
