Tennis:Agnieszka Radwanska books her ticket to Singapore with Tianjin win


Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska booked a spot at the end of season WTA Finals in Singapore after outclassing unseeded Montenegrin Danka Kovinic to win the Tianjin Open in China on Sunday.

The world No 6 recorded a quick-fire 6-1 6-2 win over the unheralded 20-year-old, who was in unchartered territory having never before been past the quarter-finals of a WTA event.

"I'm excited to play at the WTA Finals in Singapore this year," Radwanska said after securing her 16th career title and second of the year.

"I have good memories from playing in Singapore. The fans there are amazing, so I can't wait to get out there and compete against the best players in the world."

She joins Romanian Simona Halep, Garbine Muguruza of Spain, Russian Maria Sharapova and Czech Petra Kvitova in securing places in the eight-woman WTA showpiece which begins on October 25.
