Agnieszka Radwanska takes on Elena Vesnina today in the first round of the Rogers Cup in Toronto.
Radwanska enjoyed a terrific run last week in Carlsbad, emerging from a competitive field to claim her first WTA title of the season, and will be looking to build on that win this week.

If the Pole can continue her recent good form, she has a good chance of cracking the top ten, but she is going to need to be at the top of her game to excel in Toronto.
Radwanska will have no time to rest on her laurels, as she’s been drawn against Elena Vesnina in today's first round.

Vesnina is the world No. 38 and will enter this contest with an 18-17 match record for the season. She’s never won a WTA competition, but Vesnina is good enough to trouble Radwanska here.
Vesnina has a 1-0 head-to-head record against Radwanska, having beaten her earlier this year in Rome
