Top seed Agniezka Radwanska won her 19th WTA Tour title with victory over Elina Svitolina in the Connecticut Open final.

The world number four, granted a wild card after she wanted extra practice ahead of next week's US Open, despatched the Russian 6-1 7/6 (7/2).

She needed just 29 minutes to take the first set, but had to stave off set points in the second before going on to take it with a tiebreak after reeling off five successive points.

"Thank you so much to the tournament director Anne [Worcester], for giving me that wildcard," Radwanska said on wtatennis.com. "I definitely appreciate it, and I'll be back next year for sure."
