Wimbledon: unwell Radwanska pulls out of press conference Radwanska said: "Unfortunately I have picked up an upper respiratory illness, which is affecting my nose and throat. I have been playing a lot of matches here in the rain and cold wind, and I haven't been well for a few days. The most important thing is that I'm feeling good on the court and playing some good tennis, despite not being able to talk much away from the court. The priority is my singles match tomorrow, so I will do whatever it takes to make sure I'm ready to play the best I can. It was unfortunate that the illness meant I had to withdraw from doubles. Of course, it is always a good sign to be playing singles and doubles in the second week of a Grand Slam, but I wasn't able to continue in both events. The moderator then told journalists: "I'm very sorry, everybody. Agnieszka needs to get her rest back. We will finish it there. She is the first Polish woman to reach a grand slam final since Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, who was runner-up at the 1937 Wimbledon and U.S. Championships and 1939 French Championships. Radwanska will climb to No. 1 in the WTA rankings if she beats Williams but she will start as the underdog against the four-times champion who served 24 aces in a power-packed performance against Victoria Azarenka in the last four.
