It is unsurprising its going the distance as no weapons no way to finish the player off. Cibulkova just shows the inconsistancy of the top players in the women's game to have progressed up the rankings.

To get so close to victory against a player nearly 70 places above her - to me that's like a lower league side giving a Premier League club a close run. Yet it won't be seen like that, most people will just think "typical, another British player has lost". Which is a pity as she's obviously making a real effort to improve her game.

Cibulkova could have just stood there and lost the one point. Serena beat Patty 6-3 6-1 quite convincingly. It’s good to see Serena fully dedicated to the tour once again. She was basically a part timer during 2005 & 2006.
