Watch: Cibulkova to Face Pliskova in Eastbourne Final

Dominika Cibulkova showed multi-tasking skills earning a pair of victories to power into the Eastbourne final.

By the time the day was done, the former Australian Open finalist pronounced this day the best grass-court performance of her life.

Cibulkova started the day rallying past top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-3 in a match that began yesterday before rain suspended play.

The 12th-seeded Slovak swept Puerto Rican qualifier Monica Puig, 6-2, 6-1 in 72 minutes. Cibulkova served 70 percent and did not drop serve in the match.

"I would say this is my best day on a grass court," Cibulkova said afterwards. "I'm extremely happy. I'm playing so well. She was really tough to play against because she's playing completely different tennis to Radwanska, she played well today but I was just better."

The world No. 21 will play for her second title of the season when she takes on Karolina Pliskova in tomorrow's final.

Pliskova eliminated home hope Johanna Konta, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-3.

The 10th-seeded Czech cracked 12 aces and saved five of six break points.

In their lone prior meeting, Cibulkova defeated Pliskova in the 2014 Kuala Lumpur semifinals.
