Radwanska tunes up with Connecticut title

Connecticut: Top seed Agnieszka Radwanska declared it mission accomplished after clinching a 6-1 7-6(1) victory over Elina Svitolina in the final of the Connecticut Open in New Haven on Saturday. Radwanska accepted a wild card into the event because she wanted to tune up for the US Open, that starts on Monday, and the 27-year-old Pole will head to Flushing Meadows brimming with confidence after collecting her 19th career WTA title. “Thank you so much ... for giving me that wild card,” Radwanska laughed during her winner’s speech. “I definitely appreciate it and I’ll be back next year for sure.”
