NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska completed a dominating week at the Connecticut Open on Sunday, beating Elina Svitolina 6-1, 7-6 (3) in the final then spraying her coaches and friends with champagne.The Polish star didnt drop a set during the tournament, her 19th WTA championship. She took control of the final from the start, winning 20 of the first 27 points, jumping out to a 5-0 lead.She ran the 21-year-old Ukrainian all over the court, chasing down shots and placing her own with pinpoint accuracy. Svitolina held off two set points in the sixth game, but Radwanska was able to serve out the set in 29 minutes.I was really feeling good this week, Radwanska said. Everything was working. I was feeling very confident on that court.The second set was much closer. It included three service breaks for each player and a 37-shot rally in the ninth game. Radwanska broke serve in that game to go up 5-4 and seemed to be in control, especially after Svitolina turned her ankle chasing a lob shot.But the 10th seed rallied, breaking back and going up 6-5. Radwanska saved two set points to force the tiebreaker, and took five of the last six points to win it.Svitolina committed 36 unforced errors, including a backhand into the net to end the match.Set points, they come and go in five seconds, Svitolina said. She served two big serves. She placed it really well.Radwanska had never before made it past the quarterfinals in New Haven, but had a relatively easy trip this year that included a first round bye and straight set wins over Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia, lucky loser Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium and a 6-1, 6-1 semifinal victory over two-time champion Petra Kvitova.She becomes the first top seed to win since Caroline Wozniacki did it in 2011. The title is Radwanskas second this season after taking the Shenzhen Open in China in January.She takes home just over $130,000 for winning in Connecticut, but also earned enough points to clinch the U.S. Open Series bonus challenge. That means a chance for up to an extra $1 million, depending on her finish in New York next week, where she will be the No. 4 seed.So now its everything in my power to do good in the U.S. Open, she said with a big grin. It will be worth it, right?Svitolina, who beat Serena Williams in the third round at the Olympics, is now 4-1 in WTA finals, but this was her first at a Premier level event. She was playing this tournament for the fourth time and had never before made it out of the first round.She said it was a disappointing first set, but an otherwise encouraging week.There is no time to be sad because U.S. Open is just on Monday, she said.Scarpe Yeezy 350 v2 . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. Scarpe Nmd Nere Scontate .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. http://www.scarpenmdscontate.it/ . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday.

There was more bounce and the winter in the north assisted the seam bowlers more than the spinners. But that is the thing of the past and this pitch is no different from the ones we have witnessed in the recent past. The early morning chill ensured that the surface felt a little cold on the palm but the soil underneath wore the look considered ideal for spinners. Some of the cracks were moving even before the first ball was bowled. These cracks are expected to not only crumble but Im anticipating some of the pieces to come off completely. Toss, once again, is crucial.Hameed too young to drive?A young Test career always gives constant opportunities to follow the developing patterns. If you looked at Haseeb Hameeds wagon-wheel against the Indian quicks in this series, you will find that most of his runs have come behind the stumps. Since fast bowlers try to bowl fuller around the off stump with the new ball, most openers are competent drivers. Hameeds fledgling career is suggesting that while he is aware of where his off stump is (leaves a lot of balls alone), he is a reluctant driver. Perhaps, it is worth trying bowling a yard fuller to him in the outside off channel early on.What not to do when you misread the lengthJoe Roots dismissal highlighted the importance of judging the length while playing against spin. The ball that got rid of him was too full to go back to and the same happened a few times with Jonny Bairstow against Jayant Yadav.dddddddddddd. The cardinal rule of batting is that if you have misread the length, do not commit the second mistake by playing an attacking shot. Root did that and lost his wicket. Bairstow was fortunate because whenever he went back to a full ball, he tried to play with a straight bat.Gets Cook but puts down BairstowThe third ball of the 47th over, from R Ashwin, was well flighted and pitched full outside off, and that tempted Bairstow to attempt a cover drive. The ball turned sharply to find the inside edge and went back to Ashwin. The following delivery was on the same length, albeit a little closer and flatter, and that made the ball go straight after pitching. The variation was enough to induce another false cover drive. This time the ball kissed the outside edge. Unfortunately, Parthiv Patel failed to pouch it.Pitch too slow for bouncers?Both in Rajkot and Vizag, fast bowlers from both sides were liberal in using the short-ball trap. Not that both the pitches were seamer friendly but there was definitely more response from those pitches as compared to the one we have seen in Mohali. Even though India picked Moeen Ali with a bouncer, they used it very sparingly. The impression we got from outside was that the pitch is a little too low and slow, for the batsmen were getting enough time to ride the bounce. But then dont form an opinion till both teams have bowled on the pitch. ' ' '
