Agnieszka Radwanska beats Belinda Bencic in Tokyo final


Agnieszka Radwanska claimed a second Pan Pacific Open title with a 6-2 6-2 win over Belinda Bencic in Sunday's final in Tokyo.

Radwanska ended a wait of more than a year for a WTA Tour title, the seventh seed from Poland claiming revenge on the Swiss teen after losing to Bencic in the final in Eastbourne earlier in the summer.

The 26-year-old was in dominant form after a scrappy start, taking eight games on the trot from 2-2 in the opening set to close on victory.

She ended up smashing 28 winners past Bencic and victory is enough to lift Radwanska back into the world's top 10 - she will rise from 13th to eighth when the new rankings are published and also improved her hopes of a place in the WTA Finals in Singapore.
