BEIJING: Agnieszka Radwanska (in pic) beat Johanna Konta in straight sets to take the title at the China Open in a chilly Beijing on Sunday, denying the Briton her biggest career crown. The third-ranked Pole — who cruised through the tournament without dropping a set — sealed her second title in Beijing with an ace for a 6-4, 6-2 win. The victory was Radwanska’s 20th career crown but there was more on the line for Konta, 25, who was making a bid in the Chinese capital for what would have been her second and biggest title. Despite the loss, by reaching the Beijing final Konta has amassed enough points to break into the top 10 — the first British woman to do so since Jo Durie in 1984.
