Dominika Cibulkova is having a great run in Melbourne!
The world no.24 has defeated Maria Sharapova in the 4th round and now she has conceded only 3 games to world no11 Simona Halep.
The match against the Romanian lasted only 7 games. In fact, after being broken in the 6th game of the first set Dominika was still leading 4-3 and that was game over as the Slovakian then won 6 consecutive games to wrap up the match in 60 minutes.
Cibulkova: I knew how to react
“I was feeling a little more tired after Maria. That match took a lot of energy but I have the fitness so I was ready for today. I already experienced this so I was ready for today so I knew how to react. I think I did everything perfect today
I never learn this way – that’s how I am. That’s my gift that I have. I’m not so tall but I’m intense on the court; I fight; and I never give up.”
The semis vs. Radwanska
Dominika will play Agnieszka Radwanska in the semifinal. Head to head is 5-1 for the Pole.
