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. Rashan Gary Womens Jersey .

He never did. "When you stay in this game as long as I have, the most important thing is you dont take a negative situation and keep it negative," Drew said. "I thought I would get something positive of it." That came Monday, as Drew was introduced as the new coach of the Milwaukee Bucks six days after his awkward tenure with the Atlanta Hawks ended with the hiring of his replacement. Drew has a three-year deal with the Bucks, and the team has an option for a fourth season. "I am very, very excited about being here, I really am," Drew said. "Im going to do everything in my power to put this group together as fast as possible, to making us competitive, to making sure these guys are in tune with each other. If I do that, chances are were going to be a pretty good basketball team." If not, hell have to answer to his uncle. Drews uncle, Norman Johnson, has lived in Milwaukee for 49 years, and he joined the coach, his wife and the couples two younger sons for Mondays news conference. "Ive been a Bucks fan ever since the Bucks have been here," Johnson said. "Im very proud of him," Johnson added. "I hope he continues his good work. I think he will." Drew was 128-102 in Atlanta, and the Hawks reached the post-season in each of his three seasons. His first year, they upset Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic in the first round and then took the Chicago Bulls to six games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. They reached the playoffs again last year despite having Al Horford for only 11 games. And he did perhaps his finest job this season. Despite knowing he would be out of a job at the end of the year as new general manager Danny Ferry remakes the team, losing All-Star Joe Johnson to an off-season trade and seeing Lou Williams and Zaza Pachulia go down with season-ending injuries, Drew led Atlanta to a 44-38 record. The Hawks took Indiana to six games before losing in the first round of the playoffs. "I feel very good about who I am as a coach," Drew said. "You give me some guys who are willing to play hard every night, who are committed to playing for one another, who are committed to playing for the city, I guarantee you Ill give you a group you can be proud of." Drew repeatedly stressed the importance of building relationships with his players, a quality general manager John Hammond had made a priority after Milwaukees late-season collapse. The Bucks lost 12 of their last 16 games to finish with a losing record for a third straight season, then were swept by the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs, losing all four gamess by double digits.dddddddddddd Teaching Xs and Os is no longer enough, Drew said, and one of the things he was most proud of during his time in Atlanta was that his players always knew he had their backs. In fact, as Drew was flying to Milwaukee on Sunday, he got a congratulatory text message from Atlanta guard Kyle Korver. "Thats not going to change. Im going to do the exact same thing coming here to Milwaukee," Drew said. "Were going to become buddies. Were going to become good friends." He plans to start reaching out to his new players immediately, starting with John Henson. The rookie had planned to be in Milwaukee later this week, but re-arranged his schedule so he could be here in time for Drews news conference. "You get on the coachs side right away," Drew joked, drawing laughs. "I think hes going to be a real good fit," Henson said. "Hes just what we need. Hes a player relationship guy and the players are going to know their roles." Drew said hes not committed to a specific offensive style -- "Im not a big fan of predictability. Offensively, I think thats very easy to defend." -- but Milwaukees two young big men, Henson and Larry Sanders, will have big roles. Sanders made huge strides in his third season, more than doubling his scoring average (9.8 points) and grabbing more rebounds (672) than he had in his first two years combined. Henson, a rookie, showed his potential with a monster game April 10 in Orlando, flirting with a triple-double with 25 rebounds, 17 points and seven blocks. "This team has really good young talent. Young talent that Im excited about developing," Drew said. "The big guys are going to be a big part of the future. Their development is going to be very important, but you cant teach height, you cant teach length." As strong as Milwaukees frontcourt is, its backcourt is just as unsettled. Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings, who led the Bucks in scoring, are both question marks to return next season. Jennings is a restricted free agent while Ellis has until June 20 to exercise an $11 million player option. That kind of uncertainty doesnt faze Drew, however. "I wouldnt call it a challenge," he said. "I would just say theres some uncertainty and thats part of the NBA." Though Drew came to Milwaukee as a child to visit his uncle, its been a long time since hes spent any time in the city. On most of his recent trips, all hes seen is the airport, the hotel and the arena. But Hammond made it a point to show him around during the interview process, and Drew came away impressed. That just makes his new job even better. "Its absolutely beautiful here. Absolutely beautiful," Drew said. "Im really excited about being here and being the new coach of this team." ' ' '
