Dominika Cibulkova beats Karolina Pliskova in Eastbourne final

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.
