Video: Radwanska Busts out Inner Ninja Backhand Smash

Agnieszka Radwanska remained undefeated in first-round matches at the U.S. Open with a 6-4, 7-6(3) victory over Petra Martic. And she struck this vintage NINJA backhand smash in the process—beautiful.

The 28-year-old Pole has now won 12 straight first-rounders in New York, all of them in straight sets.

It’s not something she’s overly concerned about, however.

“I didn't really know that statistic, to be honest,” she said. “But, of course, it's good to pass the first round.”

One stat she does know? Radwanska has never reached the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open.

“I didn't have the results that I wanted to have here,” she said. “Obviously I didn't even make the quarterfinals here like I did in other Grand Slams and tournaments, pretty much everywhere. So, of course, it's disappointed. I'm trying every year. So hoping maybe this year.”
