Former world number two Agnieszka Radwanska has joined Magda
Linette’s coaching staff. The development was confirmed by the 32-year-old in a
post on her official Instagram account with a caption: "Someone pinch me!
@ARadwanska just joined my team!"
According to tennis insider Michal Samulski, the former world number two will work as a second coach in Linette’s coaching staff. “Agnieszka
Radwanska joins Magda Linette’s coaching team as consultant and 2nd coach. The
initial assumptions for now: cooperation until the end of the clay court season
and 8-10 weeks of direct working. Credits: Break Point podcast made by @MarekFurjan
and @CeltDawid,” he wrote.
Radwanska retired from professional tennis in 2018. She
finished her career with 20 titles, but unfortunately, she never managed to win the
Grand Slam. Her most impressive performance in the mega-event came in 2012, where she finished as the runner-up at Wimbledon after losing to the former
world number one America’s Serena Williams with a score of 6-1, 5-7, 6-2. Other
than that, she also played in the semifinal of the Australian Open on two
occasions, but on each occasion, she finished on the losing side.
In 2014, Radwanska lost to Serbia’s Dominika Cibulkova in
the last-four clash in Melbourne in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-2. Two
years later at the same venue, the Krakow-born lost to Serena in the semifinal
in straight sets with a score of 6-0, 6-4. Radwanska’s biggest triumph in her
career was the WTA Finals title in 2015. She defeated Czech Republic’s Petra
Kvitova in the final with a score of 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.
Linette will be starting the 2025 season, knowing that she did
not have the best of the seasons last year. In 2024, she played in 54 matches
across all competitions, winning 28 and losing 26 in the process. Her best
outing in the season was in Pragu,e where she won the WTA 250 competition after
beating fellow countrywoman Magdalena Frech in the final in straight sets with
a score of 6-2, 6-1.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
