Is Cibulkova going to take up Li Na's mantle? This is her tournament apparently.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Cibulkova is this little ball of energy. Good job.

I knew this match would be tough for Vika. This is the first person she played w/ any firepower. Congrats to Cibby keeping her ranking in the top 20.

Cibulkova d Azarenka 62 36 63

A well deserved win from the Pocket Rocket,she dominated the match with some amazing fhand winners,down the line and cross court winners,she was the aggressor in this match and caught out Vika in position on court,directed most of attack to the fhand wing of Azarenaka

A really enjoyable match that went down to the wire.
