Agnieszka Radwanska has become the fifth player to qualify for the WTA Finals at Singapore. The Pole eased past first-time WTA finalist Danka Kovinic, 6-1, 6-2, to claim the Tianjin title on Sunday to become the fifth player to qualify for the WTA's year-end championships.

With a week left until the action begins at Singapore there are still three slots to claim.
“I’m excited to play at the WTA Finals in Singapore this year,” said Agnieszka Radwanska. “I have good memories from playing in Singapore. The fans there are amazing, so I can’t wait to get out there and compete against the best players in the world.”
Radwanska, who has now qualified for Singapore seven times in her career, saved all five break points she faced in taking down Kovinic in their first career meeting. She broke on five of six opportunities and hammered Kovinic’s second serve, winning 17 of 21 points against it.
The victory marks Radwanska’s 16th career title. She did not drop a set all week.
Kovinic, who had never been past the quarterfinals until this week in Tianjin, became Montenegro’s first WTA finalist with her run.
