Overview
Former world number two Agnieszka Radwanska comes into this clash on the back of a hard fought 7-6, 6-3 win over Elina Svitolina in the semi-final on 8 October. The Polish international is yet to win a major Grand Slam in her career, but has a wealth of experience on the tennis circuit with 19 WTA Tour titles to her name.
The 27-year-old has had a mixed year by her standards reaching the semi-final of the Australian Open and is the favourite to win her first title at Beijing.
Her opponent Johanna Konta too comes into this contest on the back of a pulsating 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 win over Madison Keys in the semi-final. While the Brit does not have the outright, flashy play of WTA's top players, what she does have is a steady, relentless, all-court attack, which has served her well in her career so far.
Konta, who like her opponent is yet to win a Grand Slam, will know that if she brings her A game she has a good chance of winning her first China Open title.
