The World No.4 has been in decent form lately and will be looking to put up a good performance at the US Open. A visibly worn out Radwanska arrived late at the Rio Olympics after a strenuous 55-hour journey from Montreal to Rio and bowed out after an opening round defeat to China’s Zheng Saisai. Following the Olympics, Aga made it to the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Masters where she lost to eventual semi-finalist Simona Halep.Radwanska’s performances at the US Open has not been very good with four fourth round appearances in 2007, 2008, 2012 and 2013 being her best showing at the tournament. However, this year could be different for her as she has been in good form lately and provided she remains fit and continues her good form, Radwanska could well be an opponent to be wary of.
