World No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, who was knocked out of the WTA Championship after going 0-3 in her round robin group, says the indoor courts at Istanbul were too slow for her liking and she didn’t have enough time off prior to the tournament.

 

“I really played a lot,” she said. “It’s always good problem to have, to play in the deeper tournament and have a great run in Asia. I played 13 matches in 18 days, which is a lot. Well, I thought, I’ll have few days off, and then, you know, practice and prepare for this one, but I think it was not enough time… I never played I think indoor this year, and I think, you know, just I think the court is not really my thing. I really tried, and I came here before and practiced and tried to stay fresh and ready for that, but it’s not my year.

 

The 24-year-old Radwanska also said that she is feeling wear and tear on her body. She turned pro in 2005 and has already played 577 WTA main draw singles matches. She is headed for a beach vacation with her sister, Urszula.

 

“I’m not feeling young anymore, no, especially with my body after all those matches.

Especially also that a lot of 16‑ and 17‑year‑old girls are playing really, really good tennis. I think this year there are a couple of names that we are going to see more often in the future. I will be 25 soon, so I think I’m not young anymore.”
