It was a great crowd as well, there were some incredible matches for me and Im really happy that I can stand here as a champion again.Kvitova won 17 of the first 18 points. Cibulkova managed a break in the fifth game of the first set but it didnt change the momentum and the second set was just as one-sided.With the win, the Czech will move up to No. 11 in the rankings after coming into the tournament at No. 16, which was her lowest ranking since May 2011.Kvitova, who has won at least one tournament every year since 2011, improved to 5-2 against her 10th-ranked Slovak opponent.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The Southeastern Conferences two stingiest defenses will take the field in the league championship game.Thats no coincidence.No. 1 Alabama has kept its end zone off-limits for more than a month and been practically impenetrable to running backs. No. 15 Florida has only given up a few more points per game and flummoxed opposing quarterbacks.With defenses like that, it doesnt matter so much that neither team so far has a 1,000-yard rusher and their passing games have been statistically middle-of-the-pack. Both defenses feature highly rated NFL prospects like the Tides Jonathan Allen and the Gators Jalen Tabor.Its kind of like a minor league NFL game, Florida quarterback Austin Appleby said. Theres going to be first-rounders and NFL players all over the field. This is what its all about in the SEC.The Tide hasnt allowed a touchdown in 13-plus quarters, dating all the way back to October 22 against Texas A&M.A star-studded group led by defensive end Allen, linebacker Reuben Foster and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick leads the nation in limiting scoring (11.4 points per game), rushing (68.7 yards) and total defense (246.8 yards). Alabamas numbers in all three categories are significantly better than last seasons national championship team.Its certainly the most opportunistic defense nationally, having allowed 12 touchdowns and scored nine .I feel like were the best, but we have to go out there and prove it every week, Allen said. We have the mentality we have to go out there and suffocate and dominate the offense we go against.Its worked well so far.Allen and Foster are two of five finalists for the Bronco Nagurski Trophy given to the nations top defensive player. Allen has even drawn some buzz as a Heisman Trophy contender with two defensive touchdowns and seven sacks.Linebacker Shaun Dion Hamiltons response when asked whichh Tide defender hed nominate for such an award: The defense. Tom Jackson Broncos Jersey. I would take all 11 guys because, I mean, when all 11 guys do their job and get a win thats what matters the most, Hamilton said.Floridas defense has been afflicted with injuries to key players, including defensive linemen Bryan Cox Jr. and Jordan Sherit, safety Marcus Maye and linebackers Alex Anzalone and Jarrad Davis -- all expected to miss the game.Led by cornerbacks Tabor and Quincy Wilson, the Gators still rank among the nations best in pass defense (third), scoring (fifth) and total yards allowed (sixth).Floridas defense has remained formidable but the injuries have taken a toll, including in last weekends 31-13 loss to Florida State. At their best, the Gators allowed 43 rushing yards to South Carolina, 149 total yards to Kentucky and a paltry 53 total yards against North Texas. They also held LSU, which Alabama shut out, to 10 points.An Alabama offense led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, tailback Damien Harris and wide receiver ArDarius Stewart poses a bigger challenge.Tide tight end O.J. Howard remembered the challenge of facing Florida in last seasons SEC championship, which Alabama won 29-15.The same offense went on to score 38 points against Michigan in the playoff semifinals and 45 in the title game against Clemson. Howard called the Gators fast, explosive, very productive.Those guys are the best defense we played last year overall, honestly, he said. I think theyve got a couple of guys banged up this season, but that defense is one of the best defenses we will face since LSU.The Tigers held Alabama to season-lows of 10 points and 323 yards.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
