SINGAPORE -- Dominka Cibulkova put on a stunning show of unflappable tennis to upset top-ranked Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 to win the WTA Finals title on Sunday.The seventh-seeded Cibulkova, making her debut at the WTA Finals this week, picked the right match to win against Kerber during the week. The two met in the first match of the round-robin stage on Sunday with Kerber prevailing 7-6 (5), 2-6, 6-3.Coming here for the first time and winning the biggest title of my life, I have no words, Cibulkova said. Today you can see I got really lucky in the end.Kerber had won their last five meetings, but now their head-to-head stands at 5-5.The only time Cibulkova looked nervous in the 76-minute match was when she was serving for it at 6-3, 5-4. She missed on three match points and saved two break points before a forehand clipped the top of the net and just dribbled over to give her the victory.Only in the first two match points I was a little bit nervous, I realized what the situation is, Cibulkova said. But after that I only had one goal and I knew I could do it.From the minute Cibulkova hit the first ball of the match she was on fire, taking Kerber out of her game, belting winners at will, and in complete command of the outing.In contrast, Kerber never showed the skills that led her to the No. 1 ranking. She appeared frustrated and unable to contend with the variety of Cibulkovas shot-making.In the first match I played against Angelique (this week), that match gave me confidence that I could beat her, Cibulkova said. With this thought I was going into the final and I was feeling it from the first point to the last point. I didnt let her into the match today with my being aggressive.Cibulkova posted 28 winners to only 14 for Kerber, and had only 14 unforced errors to 23 for Kerber.Cibulkova, who will end the year ranked No. 5, is the second consecutive player to win the WTA Finals after going 1-2 in the round-robin stage of the competition. Kerber went 3-0 in the round-robin.Last year, Agnieszka Radwanska won the trophy after posting the same record in the round-robin.Cibulkova closes out the year with a record of 53-21, which is the most tour-level matches shes won in a season in her career.This year has been the longest season in my career, Cibulkova said. I dont complain. I wouldnt change it for anything in the world.Kerber ends the year with the most match wins of the season with a 63-18 record. She won her first two Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and US Open, was a finalist at Wimbledon, and captured the Olympic silver medal, which ensured she took over the No. 1 ranking last month.It was a tough year with a lot of matches, so I give everything on the court today, the rest of the energy I had left, Kerber said. Of course, when Im looking back its one of my best years.I will home now and just think about the best moments and the positive emotions, she added. Nike Free Outlet Uk .

Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. Last years grand finalists West Coast risk missing the AFL finals if they dont find form quickly after suffering an upset 19-point loss to Collingwood.The Eagles, faced with a challenging run to September, desperately needed to bank four premiership points at the MCG on Saturday.Instead, they were outplayed by a side out of the finals equation, and were thumped 47-28 in clearances and beaten 13.13 (91) to 11.6 (72).West Coast now confront Fremantle, Greater Western Sydney, Hawthorn and Adelaide.They are unlikely to slip outside the top eight but, as coach Adam Simpson points out, thats far from impossible.Every game is big for us. Were still fighting for a top-eight spot, Simpson said.We will have to rely on other sides (if the Eagles keep losing).We need to keep winning. Otherwise, whats the point?Its not a lost cause ... weve got to be confident, got to be optimistic.But theres also the sense of reality, too, so weve got to work our way through it.Saturdays result was all the more remarkable because Collingwood forward Darcy Moore - arguably best on ground in the first two quarters - hurt his hamstring and played no part in the second half.Collingwood were simply too hard and too desperate, headlined by a club-record tally of 119 tackles.Our ability to not give up and still fight for the season has got to be as stronng as it ever has, Simpson said.ddddddddddddWere probably more concentrating on our mindset ... rather than ladder position.Were still very much alive but weve got to get our heads around what we need to work on.That list is reasonably long.Simpson lamented the way his charges folded at critical moments, easy goals from stoppages and how fragile the Eagles looked in early defence.Ruckman Nic Naitanui was sorely missed, with Brodie Grundy helping himself to 45 hitouts.Simpson was upbeat Naitanui would return from injury against the Dockers.We cant rely on one guy, Simpson said.Hes a good player and he will help us ... but we had 22 players out there.The Eagles trailed for most of the match but regained the lead early in the fourth term, when Jamie Cripps converted his set shot from a tight angle.The hosts response was overwhelming.Collingwood made a mockery of the low-scoring game, piling on four goals in the space of eight minutes.We didnt use the ball well at all but we were able to play the way we wanted to play long enough to get the job done, Magpies coach Nathan Buckley said.Taylor Adams and Scott Pendlebury tallied a combined 70 possessions, 24 tackles and 15 clearances for the hosts.
