Radwanska victorious in Sydney

What have we learnt from 2013 ATP/WTA Week 2?

We've now had two weeks of the new season and already 10 titles have been won across the ATP and WTA tours.  As the tours come together in Melbourne what are the main talking points from week two?

Apia International Sydney - WTA

Radwanska is Hot - Aga Radwanska was in a hurry to win her second title of the year with a 6-0, 6-0 63 minute smackdown of Dominika Cibulkova. 

The Pole is going to be determined to reach at least a first semi-final in Melbourne.

Cibulkova on form - Slovak No.1 Cibulkova had a great run to the final with defeats of top tenners Petra Kvitova, Sara Errani and Angelique Kerber before the crushing disappointment in the final. 

But diminutive Domi still struck 15 wins and won 27 points, she just did not manage to win a game.

Sveta is still with us - Svetlana Kuznetsova served notice that she could still be a force to be reckoned with in 2013 as the two-time Slam champ qualified and took out Goerges and Wozniacki before falling to Kerber in the quarters.

It looks like the Russian could easily put her 2012 woes behind her and rise back up the ranks.

Apia International Sydney - ATP

Tomic's title - The Aussie crowd were delighted in Sydney as 20 year-old Bernard Tomic sealed his first career ATP title.  The youngster will need to take that form to Melbourne as he has fourth round points to defend after a great run last year.

A big serve helps - Tall South African Kevin Anderson survived two match points in his semi-final against Julien Benneteau by slamming down two aces.  He took a set from Tomic in the final and will be encouraged by his start to the season.

Moorilla Hobart International - WTA

Seventh time lucky - Elena Vesnina had six times been a bridesmaid on the WTA tour but finally got her got her moment in the sun with a 6-3, 6-4 dethroning of reigning champ Mona Barthel in Hobart. Congrats Elena.

Barthel back in the final - Defending a title is not easy, especially the first time, but the big serving German put in a fine effort.  She will be hoping her bright start to the year will lead into a successful season but she started 2012 strongly and then her results became decidedly patchy.

Young Americans - Women's tennis in the USA is not just about the Williams sisters as Sloane Stephens and Lauren Davis played out an all-teenage, all-American quarter final.

Stephens continued her impressive rise with a win to reach the last four but Davis took out second seed Sorana Cirstea to show she too could be a regular fixture in the latter stages of tournaments in 2013.

Heineken Open, Auckland - ATP

A Familiar Winner - for a third straight year, and fourth time overall, David Ferrer was victorious in Auckland.  The 30 year-old, who could soon be Spanish No.1, had a massive year in 2012 and shows no signs of letting up this year. 

Former Champ - Philipp Kohlschreiber served for the opening set against Ferrer but had to settle for second prize five years after winning the title in Auckland.  The German finished in the top 20 for the first time last year and could maintain that position with more weeks like this.

Comeback Kid - Gael Monfils is on the way back after an injury dominated 2012.  The exciting former top tenner took out veteran third seed Tommy Haas to book a place in the last four. Surely the Frenchman will at least be close to the top 20 again by the end of the season, if not higher.

British Success - After Andy Murray conquered Brisbane Colin Fleming claimed a second ATP World Tour title for the UK in 2013 as he took the doubles crown in Auckland with Bruno Soares after teaming up with the Brazilian US Open Mixed Doubles winner for the first time.
