Radwanska cruises into second round

Second seed Agnieszka Radwanska swatted aside Russia’s Nina Bratchikova to reach the second round of the US Open at Flushing Meadows today.

The Pole made her first grand slam final at Wimbledon earlier this summer, losing in three sets to Serena Williams, and she was never troubled in a 6-1 6-1 victory on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
