Agnes Szavay will play in today's Pilot Pen final against Svetlana Kuznetsova.

I saw Szavay on Wednesday in her first set against Hantuchova (I had to get over to the grandstand to see the Raymond/Davenport doubles match) and it was the first I had seen her play or even heard of her. (The big question is what is the correct pronunciation of her name. She was introduced as Agnes Szavay with a pronunciation like the French ca va but with the last syllable accented and a long a sound: ca VAY. But on ESPN--which I have no faith in for pronunciation of players' name--they are saying something like CHA-vay.)

She's good and I was surprised I had not heard of her given that she is in the top 50. And last night she took out Eleni Danillidou who I watched in an amazing comeback against Sybille Bammer on Wednesday.

I hope the players who have been making strides in the US Open Series have a good showing at the Open this coming week.

Agni won her first WTA Tour tournament last month in Palermo.
The tournament announcers and the ESPN announcers are all saying her name wrong: It is SHA-veye.
