BUDAPEST, Hungary(AP) Agnes Szavay of Hungary won the Budapest Grand Prix on Sunday, rallying to beat Patty Schnyder of Switzerland 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 in the final.
It was Szavay's third WTA Tour singles title.
Schnyder lost her serve twice in the first set but broke Szavay four times. In the second, the fourth-seeded Szavay broke decisively to lead 2-1, and then broke twice more in the decider.
In the first set, I was too excited and that gave the set to the more experienced Patty,'' Szavay said.I'm glad I managed to turn the score around and please the home crowd.''
Schnyder was gracious in defeat.
The game (Szavay) produced today was too strong for me,'' Schnyder said.I tried my best but Agnes put too much pressure on me and my returns were not very good, either.''
