SINGLES - Cibulkova
Claims Eastbourne Crown
Dominika Cibulkova capped off a fantastic week on the English
seaside by winning her career-first grass court title at the
Aegon International Eastbourne, blasting past Nottingham champion
Karolina Pliskova 7-5, 6-3
DOUBLES - Jurak &
Rodionova beat Chn & Chan 5-7, 7-6(4), 10-6
A fantastic end to a brilliant Aegon International Eastbourne.
A bit of an upset in the women's doubles final as Jurak &
Rodionova come from behind to beat the No.2 seeds. Two tie-breaks
did the trick in the end in a rain interrupted match which lasted
for just over two hours. |

Tournament abbreviations
WC = wildcard
(given by the tournament to a player that could not get in on
their ranking, or did not enter in time.
PR = protected ranking. This is used when a player
has been out for a certain period of time due to injury (I think
it's at least 6 months) and their ranking slips down to where
they wouldn't get in on their current ranking.
Q = Qualifier.
A = Alternate. Used in qualifying when a player
withdraws before their first match. Also used in main draw if
there was no qualifying draw and the draw was full before the
player withdrew.
LL = Lucky loser. A player that loses in qualifying
(usually the final round unless none of the final round losers
sign the lucky loser list) and gets into main draw when a main
draw player withdraws before their first match.
SE = Special exempt. A player who signed into qualifying
of a tournament, but was still playing in the previous week's
tournament at the time the qualifying draw was done. This player
can get a special exempt into the main draw the following week. |
