STRASBOURG, France (AP) - Fifth-seeded Dominika Cibulkova rallied past fourth-seeded Mihaela Buzarnescu 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-1 to reach the final of the Strasbourg International on Friday.
Cibulkova won 12 of the last 15 points to reach her second final this season following her runner-up spot in Budapest.
