Agnieszka Radwanska named Legend Ambassador
Former champion Agnieszka Radwanska has been announced as the latest Shiseido WTA Finals Shenzhen Legend Ambassador.
"The WTA Finals will always be super special to me because it is the biggest title of my career. Tennis is my passion and I am so happy to be able to give back to the sport through this role as a Legend Ambassador for the first-ever Shiseido WTA Finals Shenzhen," Radwanska said.
"I have always played well in China and my Chinese fans have been some of the most supportive throughout my career, so I am very excited to be going to Shenzhen to see everyone and be part of the WTA’s most competitive tournament of the season."
Such has been her popularity amongst fans that she has been voted the WTA Fan Favorite for six consecutive years. Last week, former World No. 1 and Hall of Famer Martina Hingis was announced as the first Legends Ambassador.
"Aga has always been so popular among the fans in China and I am pleased that we are able to welcome her back to the WTA family in her capacity as a Shiseido WTA Finals Shenzhen Legend Ambassador," said Fabrice Chouquet, Managing Director of WTA Asia-Pacific and Co-Tournament Director of the Shiseido WTA Finals Shenzhen. "As a previous champion at this event, I am sure the players and fans will be looking forward to seeing her again."
Eddy Liu, CEO of Gemdale Sports and Co-Tournament Director of the Shiseido WTA Finals Shenzhen, added: "We would like to warmly welcome Aga to the Shiseido WTA Finals Shenzhen in her new role and I am sure that the fans here will be excited to see her as part of the inaugural event. Aga was always known for her innovative strategy on the court so I believe she will identify with the city of Shenzhen and hope she will enjoy her time here."
