For the second year in a row Hungarian’s No.1 player Agnes Szavay won her home tournament of GDF SUEZ Grand Prix and in both the finals she defeated Swiss Patty Schnyder.
In last year’s final Szavay rallied from a set down to win 2-6 6-4 6-2, while this time she had a more straightforward victory, 6-2 6-4. The first set featured an eight deuce final game which lasted as much as the rest of the set and the second set was a closer battle.
The world No.49 Szavay has now won four Sony Ericsson WTA Tour titles: Palermo, Beijing, and Budapest twice.
