Dinara Safina has shown she is on top form ahead of the Olympics with an impressive victory over Dominika Cibulkova in the Rogers Cup final.
Seventh-seeded Safina put on a sterling display, beating the Slovak 6-2, 6-1 to claim a second straight title and third this year.
A second-serve ace sealed the match and moves Safina up to number seven in the world ranking, a new career-high.
It continues her best ever stretch, with 27 wins out of 30 since May.
“There were some crucial moments but I stayed tough there. And her mistakes helped me to win easily,” she said.
