Radwanska reaches quarterfinals in Auckland
Top-seeded Radwanska dropped her opening service game but then clicked into gear.
AUCKLAND: Polish World No.4 Agnieszka Radwanska advanced easily to the quarterfinals of the ASB Classic women's tennis tournament on Wednesday, beating Simona Halep of Romania 6-3, 6-1 in the second round.
Top-seeded Radwanska dropped her opening service game but then clicked into gear, breaking Halep twice to take the first set, then sweept through the second set to win the match in just over an hour.
The slightly-built Radwanska was able to impose her natural game of soft touches and oblique angles, making few mistakes while forcing Halep into 38 unforced errors.
She will now face Russia's Elena Vesnina in Thursday's quarterfinals after Vesnina beat No.6 seed Yaroslava Shvedova 6-2, 6-3 in her second round match.
