Moscow, Oct 23:  Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia won her first career WTA title on Sunday, rallying to beat Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 3-6, 7-6 (1), 7-5 in the final of the Kremlin Cup.

The eighth-seeded Cibulkova is the first women's player to win a maiden title in Moscow since the tournament started in 1994.

The 20th-ranked Slovak had advanced to the final in three previous tournaments—including last week in Linz, Austria, where she lost to Petra Kvitova.

In the men's final, defending champion Vicktor Troicki plays top-seeded Janko Tipsarevic later Sunday in the first ever all-Serb final on the ATP Tour.
