Eastbourne International: Radwanska sets up Bencic final

Agnieszka Radwanska's only Grand Slam final appearance came at Wimbledon in 2012

Former Wimbledon runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska will face Swiss Belinda Bencic in the final of the Eastbourne International.

Bencic, 18, progressed when second seed Caroline Wozniacki retired hurt, with the Dane 3-0 down in the first set.

Wozniacki said she had been suffering from a back injury, but expects to play at Wimbledon, which begins on Monday.

Polish ninth seed Radwanska won 6-1 6-7 (7-3) 6-2 against American world number 43 Sloane Stephens.

Radwanska, 26, who lost the 2012 Wimbledon final to Serena Williams, has been drawn to face another American, Edina Gallovits-Hall, in the first round at Wimbledon.

"I'm very happy to be in this final again," said the 2008 Eastbourne winner.

"It's been a long time. Today it was so tough with the wind. It's the worst thing for players. It was a struggle form start to finish."

Bencic has climbed to 33 in the world with a series of impressive results, including a run to the final of the Topshelf Open in the Netherlands two weeks ago.

"I'm sorry for Caroline and it is an awkward situation, but she has to get ready for Wimbledon," said the teenager.

"I'm happy but I wouldn't choose to win it this way."

Wozniacki, 24, has not reached a WTA Tour final since her defeat by Angelique Kerber in Stuttgart in April.

"I've had a back problem all week and today it stiffened up more," she said.

"I felt really bad for the crowd but there is nothing I could do about it. I will get as much treatment as possible. I will definitely be playing Wimbledon."
