Ágnes Szávay (Hungarian: Szávay Ágnes, pronounced [ˈsaːvɒi ˈaːɡnɛʃ]; born 29 December 1988) is former professional tennis player from Hungary. She was the WTA Newcomer of the Year in 2007. She achieved her career high ranking of World No. 13 on 14 April 2008
Szávay was born in Kiskunhalas, Hungary, and grew up in Soltvadkert, Hungary. She started to play tennis at the age of six, with her parents acting as her first coaches and managers. She has worked with several coaches including Zoltán Újhidy, Levente Barátosi, Miklós Hornok, József Bocskay, Zoltán Kuharszky, Karl-Heinz Wetter and Gábor Köves. She has a younger sister, Blanka, who is five years her junior and currently plays on the junior circuit.
In 2006 she made it to the final of the Ashland Challenger tournament, but lost there to Aleksandra Wozniak in straight sets.
Szávay won her first career WTA-level tournament in singles in Palermo, Italy in July. The win caused her ranking to rise to World No. 37, which was the first time she had been included in the top 40. She also won one doubles tournament, the Tier III Budapest Grand Prix, with Vladimíra Uhlířová.
In August, Szávay reached the final of the Tier II Pilot Pen Tennis tournament in New Haven, Connecticut, defeating Daniela Hantuchová, Alona Bondarenko, and Samantha Stosur before losing to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final. Szávay was leading Kuznetsova 6–4, 0–3 when Szávay had to retire from the match because of a back injury.
