Radwanska: Kuznetsova Plays Spanish Style


Few players can make clever spin doctor Agnieszka Radwanska uncomfortable on court.

Svetlana Kuznetsova has befuddled Radwanska in past meetings and the 27-year-old Pole says there's a good reason for it.

Watch: Kuznetsova Saves Match Point, Beats Radwanska

Kuznetsova spent nearly a decade training at the Sánchez-Casal Academy in Barcelona, speaks fluent Spanish and can hit with heavy topspin.

Radwanska, who failed to convert a match point falling to Kuznetsova for the 12th time in Wuhan today, says the Russian No. 1's all-court skills and "Spanish style" make her a tricky opponent.

"I think you can really say that she's kind of like the really Spanish style tennis that is very uncomfortable to play against," said Radwanska, who has beaten Kuznetsova in just four of their 16 meetings. "(She's a) very good athlete, as well. She's a very good defender. She can really mix it up, everything on court. Very tricky."
