As Radwanska's career steams forward, it's worthwhile to consider the benefits of unconventional training. Tennis academies from the very heart of the sport, a time-tested environment that has produced countless champions over the years. On the flip side, consider Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, the Williams sisters, Martina Navratilova, Novak Djokovic and others who honed their greatness in more private settings. Radwanska, the little girl who braved the cold in jackets and hats, will be a name to remember.
