Radwanska secures Australian Open semis seat

Associated Press
January 25, 2016 | 7:00pm

MELBOURNE, Australia – Agnieszka Radwanska said she wouldn't be as nervous this time around after reaching a Grand Slam semifinal for the fifth time. She beat Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1, 6-3 in the quarterfinals.

Something daunting in her path to the title, though, is a semifinal against either six-time Australian Open champion Serena Williams or five-time major winner Maria Sharapova, who won the title at Melbourne Park in 2008 and has reached three other finals.

She says, "Right now I have nothing to lose. Hopefully (I'll) play my best tennis, otherwise I'll be in big trouble."
