Wimbledon | 3 • Martina Navratilova: Agnieszka Radwanska was a special player who overachievedMartina Navratilova has hailed Agnieszka Radwanska as “the most creative player of her generation” and believes she overachieved because of it. The Polish star announced her retirement last week at the age of just 29 due to injury. Radwanska reached number two in the world and played in a Wimbledon final in her career, but Navratilova says that was due to one very special quality. “Agnieszka Radwanska was a contradiction,” Navratilova wrote in her wtatennis.com column. “She was the most imaginative and creative player of her generation, and yet so risk-averse that she had a really hard time trying anything new on the practice court. “She didn’t want to miss, not even in practice. “That was why she didn’t like to hit the ball hard when she felt she couldn’t control it.
