Polka in Sunday’s final of the season-ending tournament for the top eight tennis players of the year in Singapore defeated Petra Kvitova from Czech Rep, referring biggest success of his career.
The way to the title Radwanska defeated successively three players with the top five. When, in 2012. Reached the final at Wimbledon, won only one game of tennis player of the decade, it was the same in 2013. When he came in the semi-finals in London. In 2014,., Going to the semifinals in Melbourne, with the top five only outplayed Victoria Azarenka. And triumphed in Miami in 2012. – The two rivals of the decade.
– Such an amazing sequence matches with the girls from the leading edge was not there. In Singapore in Agnes made a mental change – says Joanna Sakowicz-Kostecka, was a tennis player, commentator TVP and Eurosport. – From the first gem semi-final clash with Garbine Muguruza I saw a clenched fist. This has long been lacking in key moments in the Slams. Such a determination, the will to fight, stubbornness. I must admit that at me a little nervous Agnieszka excessive self-restraint, the face saying: “Nothing happened,” lack of showing bravery. She acted as if showing emotions was something wrong. In Singapore from this liberated, showed the will to fight and determination – adds Sakowicz-Kostecka.
– So far in Szlemie always appeared the game, when Agnes was losing momentum. Retreating and pierced the ball without energy – says Paweł Ostrowski, a former coach Marta Domachowska and Angelique Kerber. – Lacked the instinct for victory, something that has, for example. Serena Williams. She does not want to play nice, does not calculate, he wants to win. And it shows in gestures, facial expressions, behavior. And I’m not talking about tactics, but the fire, determination. Agnieszka has so far been the Queen of Ice. Cold and calculating. Only in Singapore I saw a change. In games against Simona Halep, Muguruza and Kvitova he pushed with victory at any price. With such an attitude can fight for Slam – Ostrowski added.
In his opinion change took place in an incredible end of the first set of Halep, when Radwanska price recovered brilliantly from 1-5 in the tie-break and won. – Often in sport it is so that when you come back from the dead, a man is born again. This situation inspires, tempers. I think that this happened with Agnieszka – Ostrowski added.
Szlemie but you have to win seven matches and you can not afford to returns from the underworld. In Singapore Radwanska lost two matches in the group stage, only at the last minute was saved. – Yes, but in Szlemie not play in the first round of Sharapova in the second – with Pennetta in the third – with Halep. Of course you need to stay focused, but the first round are easier – says Sakowicz-Kostecka.
– The Singapore could win three matches in Szlemie you have seven, but not everyone has to be beautiful. Three may be a bit weaker. This is often unavoidable because hard for two weeks to keep the same level. The whole art consists in the fact that these weaker survive and end the tournament must be great. And in this sense Agnieszka in Singapore showed that it can afford it – adds Ostrowski.
Radwanska had already had already Slams great draw but could not use them. In 2013. He wasted the best chance to triumph at Wimbledon. In the semifinals he led 3: 0 in the third set with Sabine Lisicki and Marion Bartoli waited finals, which was the balance of 7-0. But Lisicki caught up tired Pole and won 9: 7.
– Winning a Grand Slam is more difficult than triumph in the Masters precisely because they can not afford a moment of weakness – says David Olejniczak, former tennis player, commentator for Eurosport. – The Masters is at the end of the season, all the girls are tired, and Agnes likes to such marathons in Asia always plays well. Also feels great in the hall, or in circumstances in which no game Szlemów. At Wimbledon or the US Open coming 128-rested and militant players. Sometimes it more difficult to compete with these young, less well-known than with the leaders, which one knows inside out – adds Olejniczak. – But Agnes is closer Slam. I finally proved that tennis player with a fine physique can knock down siłaczki cunning. But not now exerting pressure, in Poland we have a tendency to fall into extremes, let’s not make a tragedy, as in January Agnieszka do not win immediately the Australian Open. Calmly wait.
Radwańska speak statistics, as of the first edition of the Masters in 1972. Only one winner of never picked up the title Slam – a German Sylvia Hanika, sensational winner of the 1982., Which in the final surprise Martina Navratilova. But Hanika career suddenly won four other tournaments and was the fifth highest in the world. Radwanska is already much richer CV – 17 titles and a peak position of number two.
– Much will depend on whether Serena Williams will still have the enthusiasm to fight for Szlemy. If not, the chance is greater, because the level in the lead up tied – says Olejniczak.
– If Marion Bartoli could win Wimbledon, Agnieszka it can. It has everything to do it. If you are lucky a little help, you are sure to succeed – ends Ostrowski.
Radwanska moved up to fifth place in the WTA rankings. On Tuesday we returned a few days in Polish and then goes on holiday. The new season starts in January in Australia.
