Radwańska is a practising Roman Catholic, and she took part in the Catholic campaign in her native country "Nie wstydzę się Jezusa!"

("I'm not ashamed of Jesus!").

She released a video for the campaign in which she urged her fans to "not be ashamed of believing" and arranged her tennis balls so they would read "JEZUS" ("JESUS").

Radwańska was voted the WTA's Fan Favorite Singles Player for six consecutive years (2011–2016), the most of any player, in polls held by WTATennis.com.

She won 20 career singles WTA Tour titles, two doubles titles, and achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 2 on 9 July 2012.

She is the first Polish player in the Open Era to reach a major singles final (at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships), the first to win the WTA Finals (in 2015), the first to claim a WTA Tour singles title (the 2007 Nordic Light Open), and was part of the first Polish team to win the Hopman Cup in 2015.

According to Forbes in 2012 she was the ninth-highest-earning female athlete in the world.

Radwańska also won WTA's Fan Favorite Shot of the Year for five consecutive years (2013–2017).

For her accomplishments in sport and for representing her country with distinction, in 2013 she was awarded the Gold Cross of Merit by Polish President Bronisław Komorowski.

In the summer of 2013, she was disqualified from this campaign after posing nude for ESPN magazine's The Body Issue.
