Agnieszka Radwanska from Poland has surprisingly defeated former French Open winner Anastasia Myskina.In three sets Radwanska proved to be the one that should be in the second round of the J&S Cup.

The third set started with a break for Radwanska. Myskina had tried to break her at 5-4 but recklessly gave away the point at deuce when she hit the ball long giving the Polish a match point which she graciously sealed.
End score: 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

“The win was a huge surprise for me,” said Radwanska, who now faces Czech Klara Koukalova. “She’s one of the world’s top players and I didn’t expect that I could win this match — but I’m very happy that I did.”

Also through to the next round is Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova.

It took her 2 hours and 37 minutes to overcome Israel’s Anna Smashnova but she did it in three sets 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Italian Schiavoni defeated Emma Laine from Finland to go through to the next 6-0,6-1.

“I was just really glad how I stuck in there and kept fighting for every point,” Hantuchova said afterwards at the pressconference. “That’s what makes the difference for me, now being able to win these matches.”
