MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Angelique Kerber's sudden emergence as a grand slam champion is an inspiration to the other players who are regulars in the top 10 but have yet to bag one of the major prizes, Agnieszka Radwanska said on Saturday.

The German had enjoyed marginal grand slam success with a couple of semi-final appearances to her name over a nine-year span before she stunned the world and Serena Williams to capture the Australian Open crown last year.
