Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia won her first career WTA title yesterday, rallying to beat Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 3-6, 7-6 (1), 7-5 in the final of the Kremlin Cup.
The eighth-seeded Cibulkova is the first women's player to win a maiden title in Moscow since the tournament started in 1994. The 20th-ranked Slovak had advanced to the final in three previous tournaments - including last week in Linz, Austria, where she lost to Petra Kvitova. In the men's final, top-seeded Janko Tipsarevic beat defending champion and second seed Vicktor Troicki 6-4, 6-2 in the first ever all-Serb final on the ATP Tour.
