EASTBOURNE, Great Britain – Aegon International winner Dominika Cibulkova not only returned to the Top 20 with her second title of 2016, but the former Australian Open runner-up also cracked the Top 8 on the Road to Singapore leaderboard, leapfrogging Mutua Madrid Open conqueror Simona Halep and Aegon Classic champion Madison Keys to begin the Wimbledon fortnight ranked No.7.

“Right now I’m not thinking about it,” the Slovak told WTA Insider in the latest edition of Champions Corner. “In 2014 I was very close, and that’s what made me very intense and want it too much. I was over-motivated and it didn’t happen. So, I’m not thinking about it.

“It’s really far and I want to learn from my mistakes and really enjoy what I’m doing on the court. I’m really happy right now on the court, and when I’m playing free is when I’m at my best.”

Finishing second to Cibulkova on Saturday, Pliskova reached her second final of the grass court season – having already won the Aegon Open in Nottingham – and moved up four spots to No.15 on the Road to Singapore leaderboard.

Veteran Elena Vesnina and young gun Jelena Ostapenko each moved within spitting distance of the RTS Top 20; the 2013 champion lost to Pliskova in a rain-affected quarterfinal and moved up four spots to No.23, while the former Wimbledon junior champion moved up two spots to No.24 after losing to the eventual champion in the second round
