Amelie Mauresmo is through to the quarter-finals of the Paris Indoor Open, as the French ace looks to retain her title.
The Wimbledon champion defeated compatriot Nathalie Dechy in straight sets, 6-3 6-3, setting up a last-eight encounter with Russia's Anna Chakvetadze.
Mauresmo admitted afterwards: "I haven't played much these last few months so I'm trying to put things back in place.
"I don't think it will take too long because I feel good physically."
The world number three is currently trading at 3.15 to lift the trophy, with Justine Henin the favourite at 3.
Nadia Petrova is the next best at 5.8, while Chakvetadze is available at 16.5 to win her third WTA title.
