SINGAPORE — An emotional Agnieszka Radwanska claimed her maiden WTA Finals title with a roller-coaster 6-2 4-6 6-3 victory over Czech Petra Kvitova in an absorbing encounter at a packed Singapore Indoor Stadium on Sunday.
Playing a first final in her seventh appearance at the season-ending event, the sixth-ranked Pole also created history by becoming the first woman to lift the title after completing round robin play with a 1-2 record.
"A few weeks ago I didn't even know I would be here," a tearful Radwanska said in a courtside interview.
"I was doing the right thing in the important moments of a really close match, I had my chances in the second set but it doesn't really matter how I won," the Pole added.
