Radwanska conquers 2015 Tianjin Open Tittle.

Radwanska didn't drop a set all week and that pattern continued in the final, as the No.2-seeded Pole broke five times - and was never broken herself - to race past Kovinic in just 58 minutes, 6-1, 6-2. 

 "I saw her here and she played really great tennis this week, so I didn't really expect to have an easy match or anything," Radwanska said of Kovinic. 
"But I was really solid from the beginning. I think I was just using the conditions a little bit better today, and maybe that's why the score was like that." 
 "She's Top 10, she's played a Grand Slam final, she's a huge player - I've watched a lot of her matches on TV but it's completely different when you step on the court and play against her," Kovinic said. "She hits very flat, and I was a little too far behind the baseline, which gave her the chance to be more aggressive. She moved me around the court a lot today and just played a really good match."

Radwanska into final of the Tianjin Open 2015. Pliskova out

Radwanska had never lost a set to Pliskova in four previous meetings and that trend continued in their semifinal clash at the International-level stop on Saturday, as the No.2-seeded Pole broke serve four times - and never got broken herself - to cruise past the No.3-seeded Czech in 66 minutes, 6-3, 6-1.

 "I don't even think I played a bad match today. She was just much better with everything - the serve, returns," Pliskova said.
 "I was trying to make the pressure on her and she was defending pretty well from the baseline, and serving quite well. I'm happy with my week here, though, making the semis."
 "It was definitely my best match of the week," Radwanska commented. "I knew I had to play well - she's a top player - and I think I did everything right today. Everything worked the way I wanted it to."

PLISKOVA VS RADWANSKA. SEMIS OF THE TIANJIN OPEN 2015

Pliskova was the first of the two to advance to the final four, blasting 11 aces and saving all five break points she faced to get past Timea Babos in an hour and one minute, 6-3, 6-2. 

 "I'm really happy with the win today, because it's my second win in a row in straight sets, though it wasn't as easy as the score looks," Pliskova said. "I think my serve was working pretty well today, and my shots from the baseline were solid as well. I'm happy that there were no complications out there.
" Radwanska, the No.2 seed, followed Pliskova into the semis with a 7-6(3), 6-2 victory over Elizaveta Kulichkova, digging out of a 5-3 hole to win the first set then cruising through the second set. "I'd never played her, and it's always tricky to play someone for the first time," Radwanska said after the match. "She was playing really powerful from both sides, and not really making any mistakes, so every point I had to win myself. The first set was really tough, and the tie-break was important."

Alison Riske out-hit WTA Rising Star Belinda Bencic to win the inaugural edition of the Tianjin Open 2014.

But Riske regrouped just in time, holding serve then breaking once more to close it out, 6-3, 6-4. 

 "It's a huge accomplishment for me to win my first WTA title," Riske said after the match, "and I was here by myself, which made it even more special, just to know that I was able to do it by myself. "I hope I can keep up the momentum and try to compete every week as best as I can.
" Riske also showed an even more gracious side when asked about Bencic's second set fightback. "Obviously there was a little momentum change in the second set," she said, "but that was because Belinda upped her level at that point. She's been playing so well this year and has a really bright future ahead of her.
I knew coming into the match that it would be a battle and it really was." She was also asked about the tournament's motto: "Begin The Dream; Battle Your Heart". "I would look at it every day when I came in the door," the American said. "I was like, 'That's a really good saying.' I really liked it. 
And it's so true. It's just a great saying. "They should hang that at every tournament!"
