(February 23, 2012) For anyone walking by Agnieszka Radwanska, don't be surprised if you hear her humming along to Aretha's Franklin's trademark anthem after comments she made today about current No. 1 Victoria Azarenka.

As first reported by AFP, during a press conference at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships after her quarterfinal win over Germany's Sabine Lisicki, Radwanska was asked if she was annoyed about her semifinal loss last week in Doha.

"Well, to be honest, I don't think this is worth a comment. But I think after this match....just lost a lot of respect. That's it," said Radwanska. "If you do this in the match, if anyone didn't see the match, I think it's just a quick look on YouTube and you'll know what was going on."
Radwanska was referring to the ankle injury Azarenka suffered during their semifinal match in Doha at the Qatar Total Open which caused Azarenka to be visibly distraught and looking in pain as she continued playing. Some viewing the match expressed the opinion that Azarenka's behavior distracted Radwanska which is what prompted the Polish star to give Azarenka a cursory handshake at the net once the match was finished.
When the reporter asking Radwanska the question said that they weren't looking for an opinion on a specific player, Radwanska gave him one anyway.
"Yeah, I was angry because I don't think this is the great image for the women's tennis, what was going on there," she added. "So, yeah, unfortunately."

Radwanska will now face Jelena Jankovic in the Dubai semifinals tomorrow.
