Slovak 12th seed Dominika Cibulkova has won Eastbourne's Aegon International after beating Czech Karolina Pliskova in the final.
The 27-year-old, who is 19th seed at Wimbledon, won 7-5 6-3 to secure her first grass-court title and become the first Slovak winner of the Eastbourne trophy.

Cibulkova dominated a scrappy match littered with unforced errors from her towering opponent.
There were seven breaks of serve in the first set and Pliskova failed to capitalise on six break points in successive service games in the second set.
Cibulkova will play Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in the first round of Wimbledon, while Pliskova takes on Yanina Wickmayer.
