Gréta Arn (born April 13, 1979 in Budapest ) is a Hungarian tennis player .

Career

Arn played for Germany until the end of 2007 (she also has German citizenship) and then played for Hungary . She won nine of her 16 Fed Cup games in 13 games. She failed with her compatriot Ágnes Szávay at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing in the first round to Ayumi Morita and Ai Sugiyama .

She celebrated her first WTA tournament victory in May 2007 at the clay court tournament in Estoril , where she competed as a qualifier. In the final, she defeated Viktoria Azaranka in the tie-break of the third set. At Wimbledon in 2010, she also reached the third round as a qualifier, in which she was defeated by Marion Bartoli in two sets. At the advanced tennis age of 32, Arn played by far her most successful season in 2011, which began early with her second title on the WTA Tour when she won the final against defending champion Yanina Wickmayer 6: 3 and 6: 3 in Auckland, New Zealand . Before that, she had defeated a top 20 player for the first time in the quarterfinals with the favorite Maria Sharapova . After defeating Svetlana Kuznetsowa (3: 6, 7: 6, 7: 6), she reached the fifth quarter-finals of the current season in Rome and thus made it to position 40 in the WTA world rankings . At the Australian Open , Arn moved into the third round for the first time in 2012, in 2013 she was able to reach the main field again via qualification, where she was defeated by the Slovak Jana Čepelová in the first round . In July of the same year she played her last professional tournament in Budapest for the time being.

In July 2017, at the age of 38, Arn made her comeback at the ITF Women's Circuit after successfully completing a degree in interior design .
