Clijsters ends run of Polish trailblazer

LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) Kim Clijsters enjoyed a brisk 49-minute workout against Polish wildcard Agnieszka Radwanska to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals with a 6-2 6-2 win today.

Radwanska, 17, had become the first Polish woman to reach the fourth round of a grand slam but Clijsters exploited her inexperience on the big stage to pull off a routine victory.

The Belgian second seed will next meet Li Na, who became the first Chinese player to reach the last eight of a grand slam singles event thanks to her upset win over Czech 10th seed Nicole Vaidisova.
