Hungary's number one will be competing in just her sixth Grand Slam event and already has a quarter-final appearance at last year's US Open to her name. The 19-year-old right-hander has come a long way since losing to Alona Bondarenko as a qualifier in the second round 12 months ago, climbing the rankings with victories in Palermo and Beijing, where she beat Jelena Jankovic in the final. Szavay also reached the final in New Haven but retired after taking the first set against Svetlana Kuznetsova. A promising career lies ahead.
