Tennis: Radwanska into top five

AGNIESZKA Radwanska broke into the world’s top five for the first time after beating Germany’s Julia Goerges 7-5, 6-4 in the final of the Dubai Championships yesterday.

The 22-year-old Pole will move up to fifth in the world rankings when the new standings are released tomorrow after claiming her eighth WTA singles title. Trailing 5-4 in the first set, Radwanska won seven of the next eight games to go a set and 4-1 up in the second, ultimately sealing a comfortable win.

“In the important moments I think I was just more consistent,” Radwanska said.
