Dominika Cibulkova beats Karolina Pliskova in Eastbourne final

Eastbourne was Cibulkova’s fourth final of the year and her second title

Slovak 12th seed Dominika Cibulkova overcame Karolina Pliskova and some windy on-court conditions to win Eastbourne’s Aegon International.

The 27-year-old, who is 19th seed at Wimbledon, won 7-5 6-3 to secure her first grass-court title.

Pliskova hit 12 aces in her semi-final against Britain’s Johanna Konta, but her serve was a less potent weapon.

Instead, Cibulkova’s focus and movement proved vital as she saw off six break-back points late in the second set.
