Domi d Goliath: On Sunday in Moscow, in the final of the Kremlin Cup, last week's finalist at Linz (and a 2009 French Open semifinalist), 5'3" 121lb 22 year old 8th seeded #23 (last week, this week #20, career high: #14) Dominika Cibulkova from Bratislava, Slovakia, defeated the 2010 champ in Palermo, 5'11" 163lb 26 year old #43 (career high: #16) Kaia Kanepi from Haapsalu, Estonia, 3-6, 7-6(1), 7-5 (Dominika is shown holding the hardware after the match).

Dominika's prize is $157,427; Kaia's prize is $85,026.

Domi (0 aces, 3 double faults) put 66% of her 1st serves in the box, but won 67% of her 1st serve points (and 59% of her 2nd serve points), and scored on 3 of the 9 break points she reached against Kaia while totaling 113 points in the match.
Kaia (10 aces, 5 DFs) put 53% of her 1st serves in and won 75% of her 1st serve points (and 44% of her 2nd serve points), and scored 3 of the 11 break points she reached against Dominika while totaling 104 points in the match.

Dominika said: "I was playing too defensive in the first set. In the second set I said, ‘Hey, come on, you have nothing to lose.’ And I started to go more on forehand and to be more aggressive...
"This is the first time I’ve won my title, this is kind of my premiere. I’ve played great tennis through the whole of the week." AP story

Kaia still leads Dominika 2-1 in career matches. Their previous meeting was earlier this year on an indoor hardcourt in the quarterfinals at Paris, when Kaia defeated Domi 6-2, 2-6, 6-2.

Dominika is now 1-3 in WTA singles finals. She lost to Petra Kvitova last week at Linz; her other two finals were in 2008, at Amelia Island and Montreal. Domi has a 42-21 singles match record this season, and has won 9 of her last 10 matches.

Kaia is also 1-3 in WTA singles finals. She won last year at Palermo, and reached the Tokyo (now Osaka) Japan Open final in 2008, and the Hasselt final in 2006. Kaia has a 24-19 singles match record in 2011.

Meanwhile in Luxembourg, in the final of the BNP Paribas Open, the 2011 champion at Miami and Marbella, 21 year old top seeded #3 (career high: #3) Victoria Azarenka of Belarus (res: Monte Carlo, Monaco), defeated 24 year old #34 (career high: #34) Monica Niculescu from Bucharest, Romania, 6-2, 6-2 (Vika is also shown holding the hardware after the match).

Victoria's prize is $37,000; Monica's prize is $19,000.

Victoria said: "Monica has a unique game, a really different style. You really have to dig deep and be patient against her, but you also have to be aggressive. If you stand there and just dig the balls back, she can beat you. So I just tried to stay aggressive and fight for every point and I'm happy how it turned out...

"I'm very pleased to win another title. I was improving from match to match. I came here to get matches before Istanbul and of course win the tournament—everywhere I enter, I try to be the best. Everywhere I play I give all my heart and fight for every ball and I'm glad I came through this week." WTA story

Monica said: "I'm very happy I could end the season like this. Azarenka is just an unbelievable player. I tried my best today and only won four games. But it was a good week. I'm really amazed at the progress I made here."

Vika now leads Monica 4-0 in career matches. Their previous meeting was last year on a Deco-Turf hardcourt in the 1st round of the US Open, when Victoria defeated Monica, 6-0, 5-7, 6-1.

Victoria is now 8-7 in WTA singles finals. She also won this year at Miami and Marbella, and reached the final at Madrid. Vika has a 52-15 singles match record this season.

Monica was playing in her first WTA singles final. She has won 15 ITF singles titles, 1 WTA doubles title, and 21 ITF doubles titles. Monica has a 35-21 singles match record this year.

Vera said: "It's never easy to play the first match of a tournament, but I think I played a very clean match. It's a great atmosphere here. It's rare I get a chance to play in front of my Russian fans, so it's exciting."

Marion and Ksenia driving forehands

Marion said: "Even though it was 61 61, in the beginning it was a lot tighter. Ksenia improved a lot this year. She has a new coach and has been winning a lot of matches, and she's ranked in the 30s or 40s now, which is really great. She's working hard. I think she's a really talented player and will go a long way."

If Marion can win the Moscow title she will secure the final position in next week's WTA Championships in Istanbul. If Marion does not reach and win the Moscow final, the last spot at Istanbul will go to Agnieszka Radwanska, and Marion will be an alternate.

Marion said: "I'm of course aware of the situation right now, but I don't really think about it. I'm just happy I won one more title last week—now I've won six matches in a row. I'm just trying to fight for every point on the court and play the best I can. We'll see where it takes me. I will be finishing in the Top 10 this year for sure—I'm already extremely pleased with my whole season. Even if I go to Istanbul as an alternate it's a great achievement, and I will still be playing in Bali if that happens, so I can't ask or more. I think I really did my best the whole 2011 season."

*n43 Kaia Kanepi EST d n12 s4 Francesca Schiavone ITA 6-4, 5-7, 7-6(7) Wed

Francesca and Kaia driving forehand and backhand

Kaia said: "I saw the score in the tie-break but I realized I had been down before, so I just kept fighting and wanted to see what would happen. I think we both had our ups and downs but we were both fighting to win this match."

Francesca said: "It was a tough match and I couldn't play my best. It's the end of the year so maybe it's time to recharge my batteries, and then come back next year."

Elena said: "The season is over and Elena starts to play finally! It feels great to be in the quarterfinals of the Kremlin Cup, playing at home with all of these fans coming to support me. I really feel the support. I know the better I play here, the more people will come and watch me. I hope to keep going."

About playing Marion Bartoli in the quarterfinals, Elena said: "Right now Marion is on fire. She's really motivated to go to Istanbul. I've played against her before. She's a really, really tough player who plays like nobody else on the tour. It will be tricky but anything can happen."

Domi (0 aces, 3 double faults) put only 50% of her 1st serves in the box, but won 64% of her 1st serve points (and 50% of her 2nd serve points), and scored on 5 of the 15 break points she reached against Vera while totaling 105 points in the match.
Vera (10 aces, 4 DFs) put 62% of her 1st serves in and won 65% of her 1st serve points (but only 39% of her 2nd serve points), and scored 4 of the 10 break points she reached against Dominika while totaling 102 points in the match.

Dominika said: "In the first set I wasn't going for my shots enough on her second serve. It's not the way to beat a player as good as she is, because she won't give anything away. Vera's a player you have to beat, and the last time we played I beat her by really going for a lot with my forehand. In the second set today I started to do that and that's how I was able to beat her again today." WTA story

Vera said: "There are things I wasn't happy about, but I think I played a decent match and it just didn't go my way."

*n66 Elena Vesnina RUS d n11 s3 Marion Bartoli FRA walkover—illness

Marion said: "I really was trying till the end but yesterday during my match I already felt not very good... early this morning I had so much pain in my whole body, on my neck, I couldn't even warm up. So, I knew it would be extremely difficult [to play]." Sky Sports story

Marion's withdrawal means that the final place in next week's WTA Championships at Istanbul will go to Agnieszka Radwanska, and Marion will be an alternate.

Domi (0 aces, 3 double faults) put only 50% of her 1st serves in the box, but won 73% of her 1st serve points (and 41% of her 2nd serve points), and scored on 7 of the 8 break points she reached against Elena while totaling 56 points in the match.
Elena (0 aces, 4 DFs) put 52% of her 1st serves in and won only 42% of her 1st serve points (and only 23% of her 2nd serve points), and scored 2 of the 4 break points she reached against Dominika while totaling 34 points in the match.

Elena's bad day included 41 unforced errors. Dominika said: "I started very well. I was playing too fast for [Elena], and that's why she was making the mistakes. But it's never easy to win a set so quickly. In the beginning of the second set I was a bit sleepy—I had to pump myself up and get myself back into the match and start all over again."

Elena said: "Twice before when we played [Dominika] was up 3-0 in the third set and I won, so I knew anything can happen. But I wasn't playing my best and I just couldn't do it today."

Kaia said: "We had long rallies and long points. Lucie's a very tough opponent. It was a tough match and I hope to be ready for my next match too. Dominika hits hard and fast so I have to make sure to stay in the rallies."

Vitalia Diatchenko and Elena Vesnina were leading Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova 6-4, 4-2 in the Kremlin Cup doubles
semifinals on Friday when Vitalia badly injured her right knee. On Saturday, an MRI showed that Vitalia needed surgery.
After the surgery on Sunday, Anastasia Pivovarova visited Vitalia at the clinic.

Anastasia tweeted: "Let's all of us wish a speedy recovery to @VDiatchenko . Hope my balloon will keep her mood positive ;-)"
Vitalia tweeted: "Wanna say thanks a lot to my friends, who support me this days and come to visit in clinic! It means a lot for me! ♥"

Vania said: "I felt today's final was a high level from all four players. I felt from our side we played consistently and stepped it up on the big points. They played well—maybe their level dropped in the second set—but overall I think we all played a really good match. I guess we were just a bit luckier on the big points."

The first two sets could have gone either way, but in the third set I got a little frustrated. She was just the better player." WTA story

Anne said: "Wowzers. It feels great to beat a former world number one and I'm really chuffed with my performance. Felt a little weird, too, seeing someone who's helped me so much with my tennis over the years [former LTA coach Nigel Sears, now Ana's coach] sitting in the opposition's box." Anne Keothavong at Twitter

About her next opponent, Bibiane Schoofs, Anne said: "Bibi had a good win today. She also came through qualifying. I'm expecting another tough match and I can't take anything for granted.
"I've never made the final of a WTA event. I've got to take it one match at a time, but if I can do it, it'd be wonderful."

Julia said: "It wasn't too bad, but Vika was too solid for me today. My energy wasn't good for the whole match. It was always four good games, then two not so good games... she's too consistent for that, she's a top player. You have to be more consistent. That's why I lost three and three."

The crowd was behind me and there were so many Romanians behind me. It was an unbelievable feeling. I've had a great year and I'm so happy I'm in the final in Luxembourg."

Anne said: "Monica's unique in her own way. You never know what's coming next, which is why she's so difficult to play. With all of the slices and moonballs you really have to choose the right moments to be aggressive—sometimes I did and sometimes I didn't. It's tough to lose this match, but what can I do?"
