Tennis: Radwanska strolls into Sydney semis

Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska clinched a seventh straight victory to reach the semi-finals of the Sydney International yesterday, beating Roberta Vinci, 6-4, 7-5 in just over an hour and a half. While the men’s tournament has been strewn with injury withdrawals ahead of next week’s year-opening Grand Slam, Radwanska said she was relishing her run of matches leading into the Australian Open. “So far I feel good, and I’m very happy that I can play good matches, already seven in a row,” she said. “I think this year it’s the first time I’ve played two tournaments before a Slam, so I’m happy with my performance. I’m going to keep going.”
