Dunlop ambassador, Dominika Cibulkova, claimed her first ever professional victory on the WTA Singles Tour

Dunlop ambassador, Dominika Cibulkova, claimed her first ever professional victory on the WTA Singles Tour , when she won the Kremlin Cup in Russia. The Slovakian defeated Kaia Kanepi, over three sets (3-6 7-6 7-5).

World number seventeen, Cibulkova, who was competing in her second WTA final in two weeks, came back from a set down to secure the win in Moscow. In the deciding set, the 22-year-old broke serve three times to win the set, the match and the $118,000 first prize.

Cibulkova has been sponsored by Dunlop since March 2008 and is one of a growing stable of elite talent using Dunlop’s Biomimetic range. The Slovak uses the Dunlop Biomimetic 600 Lite – a maneuverable racket ideal for players looking for excellent control.

Sunny Singh, Head of Sports Marketing for Dunlop, said: “We’re delighted for Dominika and her team. After reaching the quarter-finals of Wimbledon this year, we knew her maiden victory wasn’t far away. Dominika is one of the rising stars of the WTA and we look forward to helping her celebrate many more victories over the coming years.”
