MONTREAL: Third seed Agnieszka Radwanska toppled former world number one Venus Williams in straight sets Sunday at the WTA Montreal tournament to clinch her first title of the season.
Poland’s Radwanska rolled to a comfortable 6-4, 6-2 victory over the American in just 81 minutes as she claimed her 14th career singles title.
“I am very, very happy,” said Radwanska, who earned $467,000 for the win. “Everything was working for me today.”
The 25-year-old’s last win was in Seoul in September. She reached the final at Indian Wells earlier this year, losing to Italian Flavia Pennetta.
“I was just trying to use my chances,” Radwanska said. “Whenever I could really go for it, that’s what I tried to do.
“On a couple of her serves I really had no chance. But if I had any chance, I took it and that’s why I could break her.” (Agencies)
