Agnieszka Radwanska won her WTA-leading 27th match of the year on Wednesday afternoon, holding off dangerous Hungarian veteran Greta Arn to reach the quarters of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. Arn, who was ranked as high as the Top 40 as recently as last year, put up some resistance, breaking serve once per set. But the No.4-ranked Radwanska broke twice per set and even showed off some improved power on her serve - she hit five aces in the opening set - to put away a 63 64 victory.
Maria Sharapova, who celebrates her 25th birthday this coming Thursday, is among a packed line-up at next week's Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, which is not only going to be her first indoor clay court tournament, it will also mark her first tournament in Germany since Berlin in 2005.

Fifth seed Agnieszka Radwanska captured her first WTA Premier Mandatory title on Saturday, defeating No. 2 seed Maria Sharapova 7-5, 6-4 in the Sony Ericsson Open final.
In Maria Sharapova’s way of reaching her fourth women’s singles final was another former World No. 1 player who was trying to move closer toward reclaiming her perch at the top of the rankings in fourth-seeded Dane Caroline Wozniacki. It appeared that Sharapova would be well on her way to a quick first set victory after leading 4-1.
If you want to understand this more-than-two-and-a-half-hour match, perhaps the most striking statistic is that there were no aces at all. There were ten breaks, and Caroline Wozniacki in particular struggled, winning only 52% of service points.
