…will play Agnieszka Radwańska today

SACHIA Vickery continues her impressive showing in New Zealand, this time thrashing Paraguayan Veronica Cepede Royg in straights sets 6-2, 6-4 yesterday, at the ASB Classic, in Auckland to reach the quarter-finals of the event.

The 22-year-old Vickery, ranked 122 in the world, showed that her upset win (6-1, 6-2) over defending champion Lauren Davis was no fluke, as she graciously brushed aside Paraguay’s tennis queen to set up a classic showdown with Poland’s Agnieszka Radwańska.
Radwańska, 28, is ranked 28 in the world and has reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open and the US Open.

The Polish tennis ace defeated American Taylor Townsend 6-3, 7-5 to set up an expected ‘humdinger’ against Vickery today.
Born to Rawle Vickery, a former National football player from Linden, and Paula Liverpool, also from Region 10, Vickery has been creating waves in the tennis world recently.
