When one looks at Agnieszka Radwanska's talent and astounding game, it seems that the Pole hasn’t done complete justice to her capability. Her underachievement shows in the fact that in spite of being in the top 10 for the last 6 years and possessing the ability that she does, she hasn’t been able to add a Grand Slam trophy to her cabinet.

This Australian Open will give her a chance to change that – one she should take with both hands. The world no. 3 had an excellent season in 2016 and has backed that up with two strong results to start this season – she reached the quarter-final at the Shenzhen Open and made a run at the Sydney International title when she reached its final.

The 27-year-old is a fan favourite, thanks to the power, pace and precision that she manages to project in her hotshots. She even won the WTA Fan Favourite award for 2016.

She has as good a chance as anyone to win the Australian Open, if she manages to exude her big game when the moment calls for it. She was a semi-finalist at Melbourne in 2010 and will look to better that performance this season.
