Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland overpowered Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2 on Saturday to win the Pan Pacific Open.The ninth-seeded Radwanska recovered from an early 2-0 deficit in the opening set and took advantage of unforced errors by the fourth-seeded Russian to win her second title of the year.After dropping the first two games of the match, Radwanska stormed back to win the first set on the back of Zvonarevas 22 unforced errors.Playing against a player like Vera, you cant worry about tactics, Radwanska said. I just tried my best from the very first point and stayed focused until the end.Zvonareva came back from a 5-1 deficit against Petra Kvitova in Fridays semifinals but couldnt stage another turnaround in the final.Zvonareva struggled with her serve, double faulting five times. She broke Radwanska to win the sixth game of the second set to make it 4-2 but any chance of a comeback was dashed when Radwanska broke back in the next game.Id like to say congratulations to Agnieszka, she deserved to win today, Zvonareva said.Radwanska won her first singles title in three years when she defeated Zvonareva at Carlsbad in August. She also beat the Russian player at the Rogers Cup in Toronto the week after Carlsbad.
