ISTANBUL, Turkey -
Following Marion Bartoli's withdrawal from Moscow on Friday due to a viral illness, the race is over - Agnieszka Radwanska has become the eighth and final qualifier for the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships, the WTA's eight-woman year-end finale to be held in Istanbul, Turkey next week.

Radwanska, who was an alternate for the Championships in 2008 and 2009 but has never been one of the elite eight qualifiers, asserted herself as a frontrunner for the last spot with back-to-back Premier-level titles at Tokyo and Beijing. Bartoli and Andrea Petkovic both had a chance to overtake her but fell short of their scenarios and will now be the two alternates for this year's event.

"I'm so happy to finally qualify for the Championships as one of the Top 8 singles players," Radwanska commented. "Just a few weeks ago I didn't think I had a chance of qualifying and am now so happy to end my season in Istanbul."
