New Delhi, Dec 11: Savouring the biggest success of her career by winning the WTA year-end singles championship, Agnieszka Radwanska has now set her eyes on Grand Slam glory and said here Friday that victory at Singapore has boosted her confidence for the 2016 season. She defeated Garbine Muguruza in the semifinals and Simona Halep in the final en route to her success at the WTA Finals.
Radwanska, however, has not tasted much success at Grand Slam tournament. She has three semifinal appearances to show and in 2015, she reached the last four stage of Wimbledon.
“For sure, the Singapore performance has given me a lot of confidence, I just hope that it will help me win a Grand Slam next year. I can try to be my best because nothing comes easy (at that level),” Radwanska stated.
Asked what she needs to add in her game to get that elusive Major title, Radwanska said, “It’s always hard to pinpoint on one aspect. You just need to believe that you can do it, win those seven matches in a row. Also you need a bit of luck. But above all you need consistency.”
The 23-year-old said tournaments in the Asian region post the US Open helped her redeem the otherwise ordinary 2015. “I finished as World No. 5 and that is because of a good showing in Singapore. The last two weeks in Asia were very good for me,” stated Radwanska.
Asked if she changed something in her approach or game to get those results in Asia where she won titles in Tokyo and Tainjin apart from finishing a semifinalist in Beijing, Radwanska replied in negative.
