Agnieszka Radwanska's shot-making creativity has filled many highlight reels, helping her build a big following in the game.

It has also led to her having several nicknames. The 27-year-old has been called Ninja, and was compared to a Tai Chi expert last week in Wuhan.

"It's always great to hear those kind of nicknames," she said in Beijing this week. "Always happy when I heard that my tennis is very entertaining, and I can do the shots that fans love."

When asked to pick her favorite, Radwanska had no problem choosing just one.

"I really like [The Professor],” she said. “I think it comes from Spanish and Italian coaches or players. Yes, it's great to hear this kind of nickname. It means [I’m] playing really good, [perfect] tennis.”

Radwanksa is into the third round of the China Open after defeating Wang Qiang, 6-2, 6-2, and Ekaterina Makarova, 6-3, 6-4.
