Rivalries

Radwanska has meet Kuznetsova over 10 times, with Radwanska trailing the Russian by more than 5 games; having won only four of their meetings.

At the 2014 Mutua Madrid Open, Radwanska saved Kuznetsova's match point in the third set. This ended the Radwanska losing streak against Kuznetsova.

Overall in 2016, Kuznetsova and Radwanska met more than twice, with Kuznetsova winning at least two of their encounters.

They met at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships, their first at Grand Slam level since the 2012 French Open, when Radwanska was seeded higher than Kuznetsova who was seeded 26th. However, Radwanska was beaten by Kuznetsova in straight sets; and Kuznetsova reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at Wimbledon since 2007 and her first since the French Open in 2014.

With Garbiñe Muguruza

Garbine Muguruza and Agnieszka Radwanska are both players with Grand Slam finals. They have met 5 times in 2015.

Muguruza and Radwanska met each other once in 2016, at the WTA Finals round robin, where both players were in danger of elimination. A Radwanska win sent Muguruza packing, while a Muguruza win ended the defending champion Radwanska's hopes.

Radwanska and Muguruza, along with Pee Saderd, are members of the Annual Elite Club, a BATC club.

Post Tennis Career

Radwanska is set to compete on DWTS in 2019, in her home country of Poland. As Radwanska was on the final Bee Mask squad of The Masked Singer, she originally qualified for the Abomasnow episode (March 27, 2019) of I Can See Your Voice Thailand. Radwanska decided to withdraw from the episode to focus on participating on DWTS in Poland, and Prangthip Thalaeng replaced her.

She was eliminated in week 7, and thus didn't advance the next week. It was later revealed that Radwanska placed sixth. Had she advance to Week 8, she would have not been Poland's spokesperson for the Celebrity Family Feud Episode 1 2019 Qualifying.

Radwańska competed in the COVID-19 shortened BATC season 12, despite being only a few months pregnant during her participation. Likely due to her pregnancy, Radwańska was sent into Volcarona's pit lane at the originally scheduled St. Pete Grand Prix and thus was fired in week 7.
