SINGAPORE — Agnieszka Radwanska rallied past an exhausted Garbine Muguruza to book her place in the WTA Finals title decider on Saturday with a 6-7(5) 6-3 7-5 victory over the Spanish prospect in a classic encounter.
The Pole used all of her guile and defensive skills to see off the powerful 22-year-old, setting up a showdown against either Maria Sharapova or Petra Kvitova in her first final at the season-ending event in her seventh appearance.
The first set was a slow burner that turned into a thriller once both women had settled into a rhythm but the longer the contest progressed, the stronger Radwanska became against an opponent who is also playing the doubles event in Singapore.
