Singapore: Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska overpowered Karolina Pliskova 7-5, 6-3 yesterday to clinch the last available place in the semi-finals of the WTA tour championship and stay on course to defend the title she won last year.

"I think that was simple," Radwanska said. "You win, you're still there. You lose, you're out. Not much math here.

"I definitely knew I had to play my best tennis against her. She was showing only good tennis this week as well."

The 27-year-old will now face World No. 1 Angelique Kerber, in today's semis with the winner to play either Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova or Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia.
