Dominika Cibulková


Dominika Cibulková (born 6 May 1989) is a professional Slovak tennis player. 


Known for her quick and aggressive style of play, she has won four career singles titles.


She has reached the quarterfinals or better of all four Grand Slam tournaments.


The most notable achievement of her career to date was a finals appearance at the 2014 Australian Open.


Cibulková became the first female Slovak to reach the championship round of a Grand Slam.


Cibulková was introduced to tennis at the age of eight in Piešťany, and she was eleven when her family moved to Bratislava.


Her signature expression, "Pome," translates to "Let's go" or "Come on" in English.


She began a clothing line featuring this statement in 2014.


Early in her career, Cibulková predominantly competed on the ITF circuit, and managed to win two tournaments: the Amarante, Portugal event in 2005, and the Bratislava event in 2006.


At the 2007 French Open she qualified and made her Grand Slam main draw debut, reaching the third round.


Her best finish of the year came in September, when she exited at the semifinal stage at the Guangzhou International Women's Open in China.


In April 2008, Cibulková reached the final of a WTA event for the first time.


Cibulková was seeded 30th in singles at Wimbledon 2008 but lost in the first round to unseeded wildcard.


At the 2009 Australian Open, Cibulková advanced to the fourth round.


Cibulková started 2010 by reaching the quarterfinals of the ASB Classic.


She then played at the 2010 UNICEF Open.


Cibulková began 2011 by reaching the quarterfinals of the 2011 Brisbane International.


She won her first WTA title, the Kremlin Cup.


Cibulková employs an aggressive style that is largely founded on speed and power.


Her lower body strength creates quickness around the court, enabling her to reach and return shots.
