Agnieszka Radwanska sets up Sydney International final against Johanna Konta
The Pole defeated Barbora Strycova in straight sets in the semi-finals while the Briton overcame Eugenie Bouchard
Second seed Agnieszka Radwanska dismissed a jaded Barbora Strycova in straight sets at the Sydney International on Thursday, setting up a final against British number one Johanna Konta.
The 2013 champion brushed aside Strycova 6-1, 6-2 to maintain her impeccable record against the Czech and reach her second final in Sydney.
The Pole had never lost to Strycova in their previous six meetings and her opponent looked helpless as the trend continued at the Ken Rosewall Arena.
Strycova was on court for nearly four-and-half hours on Wednesday for her singles and doubles matches and the fatigue showed against Radwanska.
Strycova failed to hold serve in the first set against the former world number two, who dropped just three points on serve in the second.
“I think I’m playing better and better each match,” Radwanska, who changed racquet in the off-season, said.
