Biography
Szili, who comes from Adelaide, started playing tennis aged five and was coached by Graeme Neville. As a junior her most noted performance came at the 2002 Australian Open where she and Casey Dellacqua won the girls' doubles title. She also was a quarter-finalist in the girls' singles draw and received a wildcard into the women's doubles draw with Jaslyn Hewitt. Szili and Hewitt were beaten in the opening round by eventual quarter-finalists Amanda Coetzer and Lori McNeil. A week later she won a $10,000 ITF circuit tournament in Wellington, with a win over local player Ilke Gers in the final.{{cite web|url=http://www.itftennis.com/procircuit/tournaments/women's-tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100003787|title=ITF Tennis - Pro Circuit - $10,000 Wellington - 28 January - 03 February 2002|publisher=ITF|accessdate=5 November 2017}} At the 2003 Australian Open she played in the women's singles event for the only time and was beaten by 28th seed Clarisa Fernández in the first round.{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/2003/01/15/stories/2003011500141900.htm|title=Hewitt, Serena enact a great escape|last=Shekar|first=Nirmal|date=15 January 2003|work=The Hindu|accessdate=5 November 2017}}{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} In the doubles event she and partner Hewitt were again eliminated by Coetzer, who on this occasion was partnering Jessica Steck.{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/01/15/1042520673300.html|title=Day three full results list|date=16 January 2003|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=5 November 2017}}
