NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska breezed through her Connecticut Open semifinal Friday, routing two-time defending champion Petra Kvitova 6-1, 6-1.Radwanska, who will be seeded fourth next week in the U.S. Open, was never challenged. The Polish star won the first five games of the first set and the first four in the second against her Czech opponent, who has been fighting off a cold all week.The 27-year-old is looking for her second title of the year after winning the Shenzhen Open in China in January.Its good that Im again in this level that I can really play my best tennis, especially before the Grand Slam, she saidShe will face the Ukraines Elina Svitolina in the final.The 21-year-old Svitolina ousted Swedens Johanna Larsson 6-4, 6-2. Svitolina beat Serena Williams in the Olympics and is ranked No. 23 in the world. Shes 4-0 in WTA finals, but this will be her first in a Premier event.It feels, of course, more special because its a premier event, Svitolina said. For the rest, I dont think this way. Its just a final, you know. My goal is to win aGrand Slam. Its just another step in the right direction.Radwansaka also has never won a Grand Slam, but is looking for her 19th WTA singles title. Fifteen of those have come on hard courts.She had never made it past the quarterfinals in New Haven, but had a relatively easy trip this year that included a first round bye and straight set wins over Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia and lucky loser Kirsten Flipkins of BelgiumThe loss snapped an 11-match winning streak for Kvitova in New Haven, where the Olympic bronze medalist was looking to join Venus Williams and Caroline Wozniacki as four-time winners. She also won the tournament 2012.The two-time Wimbledon champion said she was fatigued, a bit ill and Radwanska just ran her off the court.Shes not playing very hard, but shes using her speed, shes putting everything in, Kvitova said. Even (when) you feel its winner there, she still can catch it and rallies continue.The first match began with three consecutive service breaks before the 21-year-old Svitolina found her touch and took control. The 10th seed broke Larsson at love in the fifth game of the second set and cruised from there.Svitolina said shes received a lot of congratulations since the Olympics, but she was disappointed because she did not medal and hopes for bigger things next week.I wouldnt dream if I didnt think I could achieve this, she said of a Grand Slam title. I think I need some time to adjust my game to try to compete against top players.Radwanska has a bit of an extra incentive on Saturday. A win would give her enough points to clinch the U.S. Open Series bonus challenge and a chance for up to an extra $1 million, depending on her finish at the U.S. Open.Definitely its worth the win, she said. I will just do everything within my power to win tomorrow.Kyle Schwarber Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Chicago Cubs Gear .

He started the first 10 games of the season but injured his non-throwing shoulder in a loss to Iowa on Nov. 12. In the week leading up to Saturdays game, Harbaugh said Speights status was up in the air, and that message didnt change during the coachs postgame comments.Well see, Harbaugh said when asked if Speight will practice at the start of this week. Its day-to-day.Redshirt junior John OKorn replaced Speight in the starting lineup Saturday. He completed seven of his 16 pass attempts for 59 yards and ran for 19 net yards. He scrambled for 30 yards on a third-down play that breathed some life into a stagnant Wolverines offense in the third quarter.Harbaugh said he was pleased with OKorn, especially given the conditions on a windy, snowy evening in Ann Arbor.It was tough conditions to operate, especially in the passing game, Harbaugh said. He did extremely well. Ball security was fantastic all dayy.dddddddddddd He managed the team and did what he needed to do.Michigans offense gained only 110 yards in the first half and failed to convert a third-down attempt until the third quarter. OKorn said the offense didnt get off to a good start, but he didnt think that was due to any rust he had. OKorns last start came as a sophomore at Houston in October 2014. He transferred to Michigan last spring.After the game last Sunday afternoon, OKorn said he knew that he would be the starter for this weekends game. He said he planned to spend the next week preparing as if hell be on the field against the No. 2-ranked Buckeyes in Columbus next Saturday.If (Speight)s ready to go, thats coachs decision, OKorn said. Ill support 100 percent whatever the coaches decide. I know well both be ready to go.Speight dressed in pads for Saturdays game and threw briefly during warm-ups.Both Michigan and Ohio State are likely to remain among the top four teams in the country heading into their season finale against each other. A Michigan win would clinch a trip to the Big Ten title game for the Wolverines. ' ' '
