Defending champion and eighth seed Agnieszka Radwanska fell to Virginie Razzano 7-6(5) 7-5 in the quarterfinals of the AEGON International.

Razzano had upset top seed Elena Dementieva in the second round, and in the match against Radwanska she was never behind in either set.

The world No.25 Razzano will face Marion Bartoli in the semifinals. Bartoli has reached her third straight semifinal in Eastbourne, beating Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-1 6-4.

The other semifinal will feature sixth seed Caroline Wozniacki, the only seed left in the women’s draw, and Aleksandra Wozniak. Both players had straightforward wins in the quarters.

Wozniacki has had no trouble with Wozniak so far, having lost only five games in two matches they played, but Wozniak has had one of her greatest weeks in Eastbourne, including her career-best win over world No.5 and champion at recent Roland Garros Svetlana Kuznetsova in the second round.

World No.12 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland has signed a sponsorship deal with Longines, the renowned Swiss watch manufacturer.

"It’s a privilege to be a Longines Ambassador of Elegance," said Radwanska, who has joined legendary tennis couple, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, in the family of Longines partners.

Only in a drawing, luckily!

Look how Agnieszka Radwanska portrayed her colleague world No.1 Jelena Jankovic.

Well, Agnieszka did present Jelena’s movement and hairdo very well, but the ball in the face should have been left out. Why would she draw Jelena like that and look so proud showing the drawing!

As for the tennis fans, opinions about Aga’s work of art differ (the following ingenious comments were mostly taken from Forty Deuce).

Some people find it extremely funny:

I saw this about half an hour ago and my reaction can pretty accurately be quoted as "LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" – Carrie

That is so wrong but so hilarious. – CMS

The Polish No.1 has become a favorite for some:

Today will forever be known as the day Agnieszka Radwanska became a favorite of mine.

The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour’s 2009 Roadmap calendar features drastic differences to the current one and some tennis players expressed their dissatisfaction.

The aim of the historic reforms and the new calendar is to create a more fan friendly and healthier system, to more consistently deliver stars to top events and reduce withdrawals. But do players agree?

Ana Ivanovic and Agnieszka Radwanska believe that the new rules are constraining the players too much.

The WTA’s new Roadmap is supposed to reduce the number of tournaments and shorten the season for the players’ benefit, but here’s what Ana Ivanovic thinks:

"I do believe it’s going to be a lot of tournaments we have to commit to and it’s maybe going to be a little bit harder in that sense. We don’t have much opportunity to choose, and at the end of the day it might be that we play more matches than we did in previous years. Read more »

Fourth-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova followed Maria Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic out of Wimbledon. For the first time in history none of the top four women's seeds have reached the quarterfinals at the All England Club.

Kuznetsova was defeated in the fourth round by world No.11 Agnieszka Radwanska. The 19-year-old Pole, who won the Eastbourne title before arriving at Wimbledon, broke the Russian at 5-3 and 5-5 in the decider before serving out for a 6-4 1-6 7-5 triumph.

In the quarterfinals Radwanska will play sixth seed Serena Williams.

Other quarterfinal pairs are Zheng Jie (the first ever women's wildcard to reach the Wimbledon last eight) vs. Nicole Vaidisova, Elena Dementieva (the highest seed left) vs. Nadia Petrova, defending champion Venus Williams vs. Tamarine Tanasugarn. (source: BBC, photo: Getty Images)

Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland clinched the International Women's Open title at Eastbourne defeating Nadia Petrova 6-4 6-7 (11) 6-4 in today’s final.

Fourth-seeded Radwanska took the first set, but didn’t convert three match points in the second set and Petrova leveled on her fourth set point. The final set was also close, but the 19-year-old Radwanska secured the decisive break at 5-4 and served out for victory.

Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland beat defending champion and top seed Elena Dementieva 6-3 6-2 to capture the Istanbul Cup on Saturday.

The victory in the Istanbul Cup final earned world No.15 Radwanska her third WTA singles title, and the second one this season (she also won in Thailand in February).

Radwanska has never lost in a WTA title match, improving to 3-0. She is also 2-1 lifetime against Dementieva, who had not lost in seven previous matches at this event.

Today’s win earned second-seeded Radwanska $30,500, which means that the 19-year-old has become the first Polish player on the WTA Tour to pass $1 million in career earnings. (sources: Reuters, The Sports Network, photo via Yahoo)

World No.21 Agnieszka Radwanska won the Pattaya Women’s Open yesterday and in current form the 18-year-old Pole is on the right way to become much better-known among wider tennis audience.

With the victory in Pattaya City, Radwanska won her second career title, the first one was the Nordic Light Open in Stockholm last year, when she defeated Vera Dushevina in the final.

In the final of the Pattaya Women's Open, a Tier IV tournament in Thailand, top-seeded Radwanska defeated Jill Craybas 6-2 1-6 7-6 (7-4) after an intense two-hour match. With the victory Radwanska improved to 2-0 lifetime against Craybas, who was trying for her second career singles crown and first since 2002.

Radwanska was the first player from Poland to win a tour title, break into the top 30 and reach the last eight of a Grand Slam, and her achievements made tennis more popular in her home country. Of course, Radwanska has more goals in front of her. "I want to be a top 10 player, win a Grand Slam. I think about it and like all players, I want to be number one," said the teenager from Krakow.

Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska, the player who stunned defending champion Maria Sharapova in the third round of the 2007 US Open, scored her second major Grand Slam upset with a 6-3 6-4 win over second seed Svetlana Kuznetsova to reach the last 16 at the Australian Open.

Radwanska, seeded 29th, raced into a 3-0 lead in the first set. Although Kuznetsova quickly leveled, her inconsistency returned and the confident Krakow teenager took three straight games to win the first set. The 18-year-old Radwanska rallied from 0-3 down in the second to take a 4-3 advantage, and after Kuznetsova tied, Radwanska took the final two games to score the victory.

"I was not playing against her, I was playing against me," said extremely disappointed Kuznetsova, who believed to be better prepared than even for the Australian Open. However, Radwanska believes that her determination was what gave her the victory: "I played against her a few times, always losing, so I said 'no more'."

In the fourth round Radwanska will play either 14th seed Nadia Petrova or Ekaterina Makarova. (photo via Getty Images)
