Riske’s surprise trophy upgrade

Published by tennismash

TENNIS-CHN-WTA

American Alison Riske owns one WTA Tour title – and now unexpectedly has two.

The world No.91 arrived at her Nashville home this week to find the Shenzhen Open had mistakenly delivered her the champion’s trophy, instead of the runner-up plate she had won.

The champion’s trophy actually belongs to Polish world No.2 Agnieszka Radwanska, who defeated Riske 6-3 6-2 in the January final.
