PART C


5.Agnieszka Radwanska: Nickname: The best of the rest
   
Aga after her run in the Wimbledon SF.
She secured 780 points


Aga after winning her 1st title this season
in Tokyo,securing 470 points














Profile: Aga was also through this year's world championship. The player who admittedly deserves a Grand Slam but she hasn't been really lucky so far hopes to take advantage of Williams' withdrawal and Sharapova's seeming inability to win two quality athletes in a row. She has always been a true fighter in court but she never seemed capable of maintaining herself in the first three of the WTA World Ranking . Lastly, she had problems with her play identity, as her co-operation with the timeless legend, Martina Navratilova, didn't prove effective. Her best result regarding the Majors was the Wimbledon SF in which she lost to Spain's Muguruza, while the worst one was in RG where she was defeated by Annika Beck in the 1st round. In the Australian Open she reached the 4th round and in the US Open she lost in the 3rd round. In case she wanna do well on Asian ground, she will need to find the balance between defence and offence for sure.



6.Angelique Kerber:Nickname:The killer with the angelic face


Angie after winning Birmingham,one of her 4 titles this year.
She secured 470 points


Angie after winning Stuttgart,the most important moment
of her season, securing 470 points

















Profile:The talented German has fulfilled her ambition to be one of the Fantastic Eight. When it comes to her case, I'd advise you to bear in mind the following clues. Firstly, Angie has a particularly positive Head-to-Head with Maria Sharapova(especially if we take their latest matches into account). Secondly, she is a player of big matches, which means that provided she feels well in court she can literally win anybody. If Serena hadn't withdrawn, I'd have probably said that Kerber could potentially challenge her. Of course that's the same with Masha and Simona(who will thankfully play in Singapore). This year she was knocked out in the 1st round of the Australian Open and made it to the 3rd round in the rest Grand Slams. Although that doesn't sound extremely impressive from a statistic view, I support that if Angelique is in good shape she can certainly go far in the WTA Finals.
