South Korea: Top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska advanced to the quarter-finals of the Korea Open on Thursday with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Estrella Cabeza Candela.
"I had never played her before, and she started very well, the first few games were long and tight," Radwanska said. "But after a few games I knew what I had to do to win the match, and I started to play more aggressive from there."
Radwanska, making her debut in Seoul tournament, will face Vera Dushevina.
