Agnieszka Radwańska, twenty-three year-old Cracovian, is the highest ranked (=sklasyfikowana) Pole in the history of the ranking of Women's Tennis Association - she is currently holding (=zajmuje) the fourth place! Radwańska has won eights WTA singles titles and two doubles titles. The sportswoman started playing tennis at the age of four. 'Isia', as she is called by her Polish fans, and her sister Urszula followed in their father's footsteps (=poszły w ślady ojca) - Robert Radwański, a former tennis player and figure-skater, has been their head (=główny) coach (=trener) for twenty years. Radwańska has recently established cooperation with a new trainer - Tomasz Wiktorowski. Agnieszka's successes are a big source of pride and joy for her Polish fans. Her achievements (=osiągnięcia) will surely contribute (=przyczyni się) to the promotion of tennis in Poland.
