Radwanska Dominates In IPTL

Radwanska Dominates In IPTL

  • Posted: Dec 12, 2015

On the International Premier Tennis League’s last night in New Dehli, the four women who nabbed headlines on Friday were equally on song Saturday, as Belinda Bencic, Karolina Pliskova, Agnieszka Radwanska, and Sania Mirza went 4-0 in the two matches played.

First up was Pliskova, who won a 6-4 set of mixed doubles with Dustin Brown; the fire-and-ice pair needed 27 minutes to fend off Kirsten Flipkens and Leander Paes. Bencic, by contrast, needed no time at all to dispatch Flipkens, 6-1, in just under 20 minutes in women’s singles. Pliskova and Bencic’s OUE Singapore Slammers ultimately won an otherwise closely contested 24-22 match against the Legendari Japan Warriors. The Slammers remain in second place overall.

Mirza and Radwanska won by identical scores to their Slammer counterparts. Playing for the Micromax Indian Aces, Mirza and Rohan Bopanna won their mixed doubles set, 6-4, against Kristina Mladenovic and Daniel Nestor. Mladenovic reemerged in women’s singles; despite showing off some of her signature flashy play, dropped a 6-1 set of women’s singles to Radwanska, who ended her WTA season on a high by winning the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global. In first place overall, the Aces defeated the OBI UAE Royals, 30-19.
