Szavay keep home hopes alive in Budapest

Top seed Patty Schnyder will face fourth-ranked Agnes Szavay in the final of the WTA GDF Suez Grand Prix in Budapest on Sunday. Schnyder overcame Edina Gallovits of Romania 6-2 6-4 in the semi-finals, while Szavay defeated sixth-seeded Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine 6-1 6-2. It was the second victory of the day for the former, who completed a 5-7 7-5 6-2 quarter-final win over Russia's Alisa Kleybanova after the match was suspended in the first set Friday because of rain. But the Swiss showed little sign of fatigue in brushing Gallovits aside, never looking back after breaking her opponent in the very first game. Hungarian Szavay raced out to a 5-0 lead in the first set, and broke Bondarenko again to start the second. "I believe I played the way she doesn't like," said the local heroine. "That is why she made a lot of errors and could not play tennis the way she likes, a game of low shots."
