Seed no.1 Agnieszka Radwanska wins her opening match in style in Katowice.
The home favourite conceded just 5 games to world no.137 Kristina Pliskova in 69 minutes.
From Radwanska
Agnieszka shared nice memories about her past performance in Poland “The BNP Paribas Katowice Open is my third WTA tournament back home in my career and I must say that I’m really excited. I still have vivid memories of my first ever WTA main draw event at the Premier event in Warsaw in 2006. As a 17-year-old girl, I managed to beat 2004 French Open champion Anastasia Myskina in the first round. I couldn’t imagine a better debut! After winning my second round match, I lost to Elena Dementieva in the quarterfinals in three sets.
So my tennis career really began in my home country and I’m thankful for this opportunity.”
Next vs. Schiavone
Agnieszka will play world no. 48 Francesca Schiavone in the second round. Head to head is 4 all, but Agnieszka has won the last 4 and all of them in straight easy sets.
