There’s a reason Agnieszka Radwanska has the nicknames “The Magician”, “Ninja” and “La Profesora”. It’s simple, she can pull off the most difficult shots in the game with ease.
And she’s done it again – for the fourth year in a row, Radwanska is the winner of WTA Shot Of The Year.
Radwanska took top honors with her hot shot against Monica Niculescu at Indian Wells back in March. She turned her signature defense into some thrilling offense, running all over the court and blasting a stunning around-the-post winner that even left herself speechless.
Check out the video above to watch all her award-winning shots, from 2013’s incredible 360 spin backhand volley in Miami to this year’s Indian Wells stunner!
