Katalin Marosi (born 12 November 1979) is a Hungarian former professional tennis player.

Early life

Her mother Ildiko is a secretary and her father Sandor a gymnastics trainer; she has an older brother (Peter). Marosi was introduced to tennis at age six by Antal and Eva Elekes in Budapest. Favorite surface of the all-court player was hardcourt, favorite shot forehand. Best memories include warming-up her serve with Steffi Graf in 1996 Roland Garros juniors, and winning her first ITF event. Marosi admired Graf because she knew everything about tennis and was so good mentally.
