Agnieszka Radwanska continued to build on the best season of her career on Saturday, capturing the Istanbul Cup championship.

The second-seeded Pole downed top seed Elena Dementieva 6-3 6-2 in the final to claim her third career title and second this season.

Radwanska, 19, had already won in Pattaya City and had an impressive run to the quarter-finals at the Australian Open in January.

Currently the world number 15, Radwanska reached a career-high ranking of 14th last month.

This is the first claycourt title for Radwanska, who will be the 14th seed at the French Open, which begins on Sunday.

Radwanska forced 12 break points during the 73-minute match, converting five.
