Cibulkova stuns Kerber for WTA Finals crown

DOMINIKA Cibulkova completed a remarkable debut at the WTA Finals when the Slovakian world No. 8 stormed to victory with an unlikely 6-3, 6-4 triumph over top seed and world No. 1 Angelique Kerber in the title showdown last night.

Cibulkova lost her first two round-robin matches in Singapore before beating Simona Halep to squeeze into the semifinals and her victory yesterday matches the feat of 2015 winner Agnieszka Radwanska, who captured the title with a 1-2 pool record. Her first defeat at this year’s tournament was a tight three-set loss to Kerber, winner of the Australian and US Opens in 2016, but she turned the tables on the German in the final to register the biggest victory of her career.
