The difference between Dominika and Karolina in the second set was just one break in the 4th game (3-1). Finally, Cibulkova won the match 7-5 6-3.

It’s hard to describe. CIBULKOVA
Dominika was visibly happy for this win to comment “It’s very hard to describe, this has been my best week on grass, and it just feels – it just happened, and I can’t believe it. I was playing really well today, but the conditions were really hard for me and my opponent. It was a great week for me. This is my second time here, and I’m gonna come back many more years.”
