Welcome to the historical Hungarian city of Budapest! Budapest plays host to a Tier IV event on red clay this week. We will soon leave the red dirt behind and head to the States, where the highest ranked players already are. There are still some players out there who would love to score some points before displaying their skills on the hard courts in the US summer heat.
PYW Ranking of the Main Draw Participants:
63. Anna Smashnova ISR
75. Mariana Diaz-Oliva ARG
76. Martina Sucha SVK
86. Melinda Czink HUN
88. Emilie Loit FRA
88. Katarina Srebotnik SLO
92. Ludmila Cervanova SVK
110. Michaela Pastikova CZE
115. Roberta Vinci ITA
122. Antonella Serra Zanetti ITA
126. Sanda Mamic CRO
162. Aniko Kapros HUN
173. Hanna Nooni SWE
182. Ekaterina Bychkova RUS
204. Agnes Szavay HUN
214. Emma Laine FIN

Will Srebotnik continue to impress?
The four highest ranked PYW players here in Budapest all lost their first round matches. Schaul [Q], Sanchez Lorenzo, Kostanic [4] and Marrero [Q] all were far from victorious and will be packing their bags and heading to the US hard courts now.
The highest ranked remaining player in the draw is Israelian Anna Smashnova, the top seed. In her first round match, Smashnova relied on her stamina to get her through her match against Lubomira Kurhajcova, who had already won three matches in the qualifying competition.
#2 seed Katarina Srebotnik also won her first round match. The Slovenian, who doesn't have a history of great popularity, crushed Claudine Schaul, runner up in Rabat earlier this year.
Local teenager and wild card player Agnes Szavay is still in the running as well. Her match against Maria Sanchez Lorenzo, in which she lost only three games, was so impressive, that the Hungarian bombarded herself to tournament contender. Szavay's compatriots Aniko Kapros and Melinda Czink are also still in with a chance.
Interesting fact.. none of these players ever reached a final in a WTA or ITF event!
There is not really one favourite standing out. Almost anyone could go far here. How the players will fare, who will be victorious and who will be less fortunate, it is all in your hands. So start voting now for who you want to win these second round matches!
