Cibulkova wins best Slovak tennis player award, again

Published Nov 27, 2018

Dominika Cibulkova has won the Slovak Tennis Player of the Year award for the record eighth time in her career.

The 29-year-old has also been recognized as the fan favorite. Known for her fighting spirit and "pome" cheer—which means “come on” in her native tongue—the Slovakian plays each match, and point, with enormous energy. It's one of the many reasons she's so popular.

This season, the world No. 25 appeared in the finals of Budapest and Strasbourg, the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, Wuhan and Beijing, and the fourth round of the US Open.

Her fans love her for her social media as well as she's not shy about posting her off-court interests on Instagram, often sharing incredible images from her many photoshoots and vacations.

Most recently, the WTA released a feature video about her titled Dominika Cibulkova: My Story, which chronicles her journey on the professional circuit. Though just 5’3,” the 2016 WTA Finals champion has proven that her height is not a disadvantage.

Cibulkova just spent a big chunk of her offseason vacationing in the Maldives and then shooting in Wuhan for her role in Li Na’s biopic.

She's got some offseason training to do before the 2019 season kicks off in less than six weeks.
