Top-seeded titleholder Agnieszka Radwanska suffered a major upset against Daria Gavrilova in the Connecticut Open. The Australian tennis player outclassed the former grand slam finalist and world number 2 6-4, 6-4 to set up a championship showdown with Dominika Cibulkova. Gavrilova is chasing her maiden WTA Tour title after losing the final in Strasbourg in May to fellow Australian Samantha Stosur.
The 23-year-old is full of confidence after guaranteeing herself a big rankings bump after holding her nerve to end Radwanska's six-match winning streak in New Haven.
Serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set, Gavrilova saved a break point with her second ace before closing out the contest in one hour and 33 minutes. She is projected to go up to number 22 in the world.
Gavrilova grew up in Russia, moved to Australia when she was 18 and switched her nationality to Australia in December 2015. She will face Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia on Saturday in the final WTA tuneup event before the US Open, the final Grand Slam event of the season that starts Monday in New York.
