Radwanska echoed her sentiments: “I am absolutely delighted that Martina has agreed to help me and my team next season. She is my idol in tennis and I am honored we will be working together. Her achievements speak for themselves and I hope that I can learn from all her experience. My goal is to win a Grand Slam, so to have someone with Martina’s accomplishments in my corner is going to be hugely advantageous and give me a big boost.
