SINGAPORE – Agnieszka Radwanska outdid Garbiñe Muguruza in a marathon to reach the final of the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global. It was her 50th win of the year.
Muguruza has been somewhat of a nemesis for Radwanska. She’d won all four of their other meetings this year, at Sydney, Dubai, Wimbledon and Beijing, and it looked like that pattern was going to continue in Singapore on Saturday as she dug out of a 4-1 hole to sneak out the first set tie-break.
But Radwanska went right to work from there, hitting the corners with her pinpoint groundstrokes more and more and capitalizing on the unforced errors that began creeping into Muguruza’s game, and after two hours and 38 minutes – and some tense moments as she watched a 4-1 third set lead dissipate to 4-all – the No.5-seeded Pole finally got the better of the No.2-seeded Spaniard, 6-7(5), 6-3, 7-5.
Agnieszka Rsdwanska elimino a la Española Garbiñe Muguruza en una maratomica semifinales en las finales de la WTA en Singapur, logrando de paso su victoria numero 50 del año.
Muguruza venia ejerciendo un dominio absoluto sobre la Polaca a quien le habia ganado los 4 partidos disputados este año en Sydney, Dubai, Wimbledon y Beijing y por lo visto en el primer set parecia que ese dominio continuaria…
Pero Radwanska logro hacer un trabajo metodico y correcto llevandola a las esquinas y capitalizando los errores de su joven rival para terminar imponiendose en dos horas y 38 minutos con parciales de 6-5, 6-3 y 7-5….ahora Radwanska espera por la ganadora entre Maria Sharapova y Petra Kvitova para disputar el titulo de reinas de la WTA….el domingo.
