In the 2002 French Open, as a qualifier, she defeated Justine Henin-Hardenne in the first round 4-6, 6-1, 6-0. Kapros' senior career has been marred by recurring knee injuries. Her biggest success at a WTA tournament came in September 2003 when she reached the final of the Japan Open in Tokyo, where she lost to Maria Sharapova.
