Auckland: World No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland moved her Australian Open preparations into high gear when she beat Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer 6-4, 6-4 to win the ASB Classic, her 11th career title. Playing her first tournament since October, Radwanska dropped only one set in five matches to claim the Auckland singles crown at her first attempt.
She showed no signs of rustiness in her first tournament since October and said she felt confident as she headed towards the first Grand Slam of the season.
"I couldn't imagine a better start to the year," Radwanska said. "It's the perfect preparation for the Australian Open."
Wickmayer, who was hoping to add her second title in her third finals appearance in Auckland, fought hard and saved five match points before succumbing.
