Martina Navratilova links up with Agnieszka Radwanska

Eighteen-time Grand Slam singles winner Martina Navratilova agrees to coach world number six Agnieszka Radwanska.

Martina Navratilova has agreed to coach world number six Agnieszka Radwanska.

Navratilova, who won 18 Grand Slam singles titles, will begin working with the 25-year-old Pole later this month.

"I am really excited about this opportunity to join Agnieszka's team. I can't wait to get started," said Navratilova.

Meanwhile, 2012 Wimbledon finalist Radwanska added: "I am absolutely delighted that Martina has agreed to help me and my team next season.

"She is my idol in tennis and I am honoured we will be working together. My goal is to win a Grand Slam, so to have someone with Martina's accomplishments in my corner is going to be hugely advantageous and give me a big boost.

"We are originally from a similar part of the world so we share an understanding about tennis and life, which I'm sure will translate into a successful relationship."

Navratilova's appointment has seen her join what appears to be a growing trend of current players linking up with past stars. The likes of Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and Michael Chang have all recently taken on coaching positions.
