I will be meeting 19 year old Agnes Szavay later on today. I am rooting for her to do well in the U.S Open. She has had some big wins this year against Dinara Safina, Ai Sugiyama, Daniela Hantuchova, Elena Dementieva, etc. and she is on the verge of breaking into the top 15. But she needs to be a lot more consistent to get into the top 10.
