    Cibulkova surprises Radwanska to take Stanford title

    Dominika Cibulkova defeated Agnieszka Radwanska 3-6 6-4 6-4 to take the Stanford title, reversing a 6-0 6-0 rout to the Polish #4 earlier in the year at Sydney.

    “It was big deal for me because I never beat Aga before and she’s a really tough competitor and I had to earn every point. It was really tough physically and mentally. That’s why I am so happy that I won.” stated Cibulkova following the match.

    The 24 year old Slovakian dropped the opening set, but recovered to break Radwanska in the second to force a final set championship decider. Radwanska marched out to a 4-2 lead but was quickly broken back.

    Cibulkova then took control of the final games, before unleashing a backhand winner to take the match and the championship.

    Promising Ukranian teenager Elina Svitolina claimed her first WTA title, defeating Shahar Peer in the final of the Baku Cup.

    A brace of service breaks, one in each set gave the 18 year old the edge needed to defeat former world #11 Peer in 1 hour 37 minutes.

    After the match, Svitolina said “It was a very tough match today and I had a lot of tough matches throughout the week, but I worked really hard coming into the tournament, and it turned out well for me.”

    Hantuchova Wins Birmingham WTA Final

    Daniela Hantuchova won her sixth career title defeating 16-year-old prodigy Donna Vekic 7-6(5), 6-4 at the Birmingham WTA final.

    The Croatian youngster nearly snatched the first set before succumbing 7-5 in the tiebreak, prompting a code violation for racquet abuse as she vented her frustration.

    Hantuchova, a former world number 5, broke Vekic twice in the second set after suffering an early break of her own to run out the winner and take the title.
