Biography[edit]

Born in Los Angeles, Dabek later moved to Bradenton, Florida and was a top ranked junior in the state.

Dabek, a right-handed player, started competing on the professional tour in the 1998 season. In 2001 she qualified for the main draw of two WTA Tour tournaments, the Morocco Open in Casablanca and the Tournoi de Québec. The following year she qualified a second time in Casablanca.[1] She won both the singles and doubles titles at the $25k tournament in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2003. Her biggest performance came at the 2005 US Open where she made it through the qualifying draw, with wins over Kateřina Böhmová, Tsvetana Pironkova and Maria Fernanda Alves, all in three set matches. In the opening round of the main draw she was beaten by seeded Russian Vera Dushevina.[2] She peaked at 170 in the world rankings after the US Open and continued on tour until 2007.
