World No.21 Dominika Cibulkova recorded a 7-5 6-3 victory over Karolina Pliskova in her grasscourt final debut at the Aegon International Eastbourne.
The first set was full of breaks, featuring as many as seven, and the first to grab her opponent's serve was the world No.17 Pliskova in the opening game of the match, but even though the Czech's break point conversion was perfect 100% (3/3), Cibulkova edged the first set, racing away with two straight games from 5-all.
In the second set, the 12th-seeded Cibulkova quickly established a 4-1 lead, as Pliskova failed to convert the break points she earned in the fifth game of the set.
