2004
In January 2004, Schaul was able to win her first Doubles title in Canberra, Australia, partnering Jelena Kostanić Tošić. Shortly after, Schaul made it to the third round of the 2004 Australian Open before losing to Alicia Molik.
Later that year in May, Schaul managed to win her first WTA title at Strasbourg, defeating Lindsay Davenport 2–6, 6–0, 6–3 in the final.[1]
Due to her strong performances at the Australian Open and the Internationaux de Strasbourg, Schaul was awarded the honour of being the flag bearer for Luxembourg at the 2004 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Athens, Greece. At the Olympics, she lost her first round game 1–6, 1–6 against Slovak Daniela Hantuchová.
