Agnieszka Radwanska on Navratilova: "Now I really have a great team"

Agnieszka Radwanska says she is benefiting from Martina Navratilova's coaching and now has the team she wants in place.


The No. 6-ranked Radwanska began working with the tennis legend during the off-season, and is bidding to win her first Grand Slam title. She has not dropped a set during her first three matches at the Australian Open.



"I think it's a lot of things, but of course on this level, I think it's just really small details that are very important. Of course everybody can play great tennis, but if you want to win a match or Grand Slam, you really have to do everything right," said Radwanska.


Navratilova is still doing commentary for Tennis Channel while coaching Radwanska. "But, well, I think we could find and plan that everything is working for us both. Of course she's also commentating, but she's always there when I'm practicing or playing match. I think it's easy to do that. We find a plan every day very good," said Radwanska.



Radwanska, a former Wimbledon finalist, was coached by her father for much of her career. She says she is pleased with the arrangement she has now, combining her regular coach with Navratilova during some weeks of the season.


"I just have two coaches, which was my dad and now Tomasz Wiktorowski, wh[o] is still here, and Martina is another coach in the team," she said. "I didn't really have much other coaches in my career. I think now I really have great team. I have everyone that I need and everything is working pretty well. I hope that stay like this for long."


Radwanska plays Venus Willians in the fourth round.

I gotta agree, even despite the loss to Venus I think working with Navratilova might just bring her that first illusive grand slam title.


We might have to wait until the French Open, or more likely Wimbledon.
