Radwanska paired up with Jerzy Janowicz for the Hopman Cup that year. The pair teamed up successfully, topping their group. They lost just one tie in that tournament against France. As a result, they proceeded to the final and took on Team USA, which comprised Williams and John Isner.
In the summit clash, Radwanska defeated Williams in the first singles match. It was a mouth-watering clash that went right to the distance, with the Polish star coming out on top in three sets 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1. However, Isner leveled the tie by defeating Janowicz in straight sets. In the deciding match, Radwanska and Janowicz combined their power to defeat Williams and Isner to lift the 2015 Hopman Cup.

What did Radwanska say about Williams?
A year later following her Hopman Cup victory, Radwanska lost against Williams in the Australian Open semifinals. The American star defeated her in straight sets 6-0, 6-4. Subsequently, Radwanska opened up about Williams’ game.
The Polish star said, “She goes on court and she just wants to kill it. There was just no mistake. Unbelievable serve. Everything, she was going for it. Yeah, I couldn’t do much. Not at all, actually. I don’t think anyone can really play on that kind of level at all.”
