Jedrzejowska lost that French final and was also beaten in the Wimbledon and US Championships finals in 1937, so Radwanska is well aware she would write her name in tennis history as the first Polish winner of a major if she beats Serena Williams in Saturday’s final.u00a0
Radwanska said. “I will try to win the final.” Radwanska faces a daunting task against four-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams. But the Pole is relishing the chance to shock those who make her a heavy underdog in the final.
