Quitting Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli before the quarter-finals in Moscow was enough for Radwanska, which are among the eight most powerful of the season. Bartoli could only get rid of the Polish race in Istanbul, but always had to win the "Kremlin Cup" in the Russian capital. Frenchwoman was forced to terminate participation vMoskva for viral infection. "I think my body needs a rest. The season was very long. I tried to play to the end, but simply have no power," said Bartoli. So Radwanska joins Caroline Voznyatski (Denmark), Russians Maria Sharapova and Vera Zvonareva, Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic) Samantha Stosur (Australia) and Lee On (China) for the final year of WTA tournament in Istanbul.
