[edit] Career

Throughout Timea's junior career, she reached the semifinals of the 2004 Australian Open, losing to Shahar Pe'er, the 2004 French Open, losing to Madalina Gojnea, and the 2005 Australian Open, losing to Hungarian Ágnes Szávay.

Her breakthrough professional tournament was the 2006 Zurich Open, qualifying and then defeating former Grand Slam champion Anastasia Myskina 6–3 6–3 and Italian Francesca Schiavone 6–1 ret. Her fairytale run in her native country was ended by former World Number One Maria Sharapova, but not without a fight, losing 4–6 3–6.

Timea, however, did not enjoy as much success after the quarterfinal appearance in Zürich, winning only two WTA Tour matches, against Olga Savchuk in Fes and Zheng Jie at the 2007 French Open.

Timea had an excellent start to 2008 by reaching the semifinals of the Tier II Proximus Diamond Games in Antwerp, Belgium, where she won three qualifying matches before beating several players in the main draw - including third seed Daniela Hantuchová in a retirement - and then won the first set against world no. 1 Justine Henin 6–2, before losing the next two 3–6, 3–6.

In 2009, she won her first WTA Tour singles title over German Sabine Lisicki 6-2, 7-5 in Luxembourg.
