World number four Agnieszka Radwanska has insisted that she is in "relaxed" mood ahead of next week's Wimbledon.

The Pole had failed to go beyond the quarter-finals at SW19 prior to last year, when she reached the final before being defeated by Serena Williams.

However, the 24-year-old has revealed that her run in London 12 months ago has given her more confidence this time around.

"I was really nervous before and also on court but now I know how it is and I will go on court feeling more relaxed than before," she is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard.

"Everything around the final was a huge, huge thing and for me it was the biggest day. It was such a big difference from other finals I've played before and I think it doesn't matter if you win or lose a final it's just a great experience, one of the biggest experiences of my life."

Radwanska, from Krakow, did not play on grass until she turned 16 because of a lack of facilities in her hometown.
