NEW HAVEN, Connecticut — Top seed Agnieszka Radwanska overcame a slow start and breezed past Jelena Ostapenko 7-5, 6-1 Tuesday night in the second round of the Connecticut Open.
Ostapenko had upset four-time New Haven champion Caroline Wozniacki in the first round and had a set point, leading the fourth-ranked player in the world 5-4. But Radwanska rallied to hold serve, then broke the 19-year-old from Latvia in the 11th game to take control of the match.
“I think I was just more patient and well, just two points better,” said Radwanska, of Poland.
Before that match, the day belonged to the underdogs.
