Intro:

Agnieszka Radwanska crushed Alize Cornet 6-3, 6-2 on Monday to advance to the second round of the WTA Sydney International.

Script:

The last time Agnieszka Radwanska met Alize Cornet was only three days prior to this Sydney International encounter.

Cornet won that Hopman Cup clash but this was a different story.

After breaking Cornet in the fourth game, Radwanska took the opening set 6-3 - though the Frenchwoman did not particularly like the verdict on what turned out to be the deciding shot.

There was only the occasional flash of excellence from a subdued world number 18 - this in the fourth game of the second set

The Polish third seed cruised to the set 6-2 and faces Spain's Garbine Muguruza, who beat Italian Sara Errani earlier in the day.
