Friday Recap

A brilliant opening passing forehand winner from Radwanska, 27, suggested she was in the mood on Friday, and when she was 0-30 up on Konta's serve in the second game of the match, it looked as though it could be a tricky evening for the Briton.

However, Konta recovered well to hold her opening service game for 1-1 and was in the ascendancy for the remainder of the match.

She attacked Radwanska's second serve to great effect and broke for a 2-1 lead with a fantastic return.

Another impressive hold from 0-30 down prevented Konta, 25, from giving the break straight back, and she then powered to the opening set with some big hitting Radwanska could not cope with, per BBC Sport's Russell Fuller:

The Pole did little wrong in the opener, registering just two unforced errors, but Konta's 18 winners to Radwanska's five made the difference.

Impressively, Konta improved in the second set as she earned two breaks to race into a 4-0 lead.

The more experienced Radwanska—she has 20 career WTA titles—could not get a foothold in the contest despite holding for 4-1 and 5-2.

Konta was almost nerveless as she served out for the title. An ill-judged drop shot saw her squander her first match point, but she took the second with an ace to seal a fantastic win, per tennis commentator David Law:

Muller battled through a tight clash against Troicki to win 6-3, 7-6(6) in just under 90 minutes.

He broke the Serbian in his opening service game in the first set and maintained his slim advantage to take the lead.

He then saved two break points in the second set as the pair exchanged holds to set up a tiebreak. 

Muller missed his first match point at 6-5 ahead in the breaker but made no mistake at 7-6 to book his spot in the final.
