Agnieszka Radwanska got her WTA Championships campaign off to a great start with a 6-3 6-2 victory over defending champion Petra Kvitova in Istanbul.
"I'm just very happy about my performance," Radwanska said after the match. "The first match is always tough and adjusting to a new surface is never easy, but I was playing really well from the beginning to the end of the match. "It was still a little bit up and down today. There were a lot of breaks of serve in the match - the serve should be a big weapon, and it wasn't in this match. "But I just stayed focused and I'm happy I closed this match out in two sets." Kvitova said: "I was not very comfortable on court and I didn't feel pretty well."
