Monica Seles was officially inducted into the Rogers Cup Hall of Fame at a special ceremony at the 2009 Rogers Cup.

The induction was the icing on the cake of Seles’ special night. Prior to being honored, the former world number one, who had officially retired in 2008, played one more match in Canada, the country where she played her first match after being stabbed.

Partnered with Canadian Aleksandra Wozniak, Seles took the court for an exhibition doubles match against Martina Navratilova and Serena Williams, and lost 6-3. (source: Sony Ericsson WTA Tour)

Russia’s Dinara Safina, seeded seventh, won her second successive tournament with a 6-2 6-1 victory over Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova at the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

Before, Safina usually lost in the first round of a tournament following the one she won, but now she has managed to claim back-to-back titles.

The Russian was never in trouble in the final against Cibulkova, the 19-year-old who defeated four seeded players on her way to the championship match in Montreal: No.10 Elena Dementieva, No.12 Nadia Petrova, No.2 and soon-to-be top-ranked player in the world, Jelena Jankovic, and No.10 seed Bartoli.

Seventh seed Dinara Safina and unseeded Dominika Cibulkova are the finalists at the 2008 Rogers Cup in Montreal.

Slovakian Cibulkova came back in her rain-interrupted semifinal against Marion Bartoli to defeat the Frenchwoman 4-6 6-4 6-3. In the other semifinal, Safina beat 11th-seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-0 2-6 6-3.

World No.31 Cibulkova defeated fifth-seeded Elena Dementieva, 12th-seeded Nadia Petrova, second-seeded Jelena Jankovic and now the 10th-seeded Bartoli to reach her second career WTA Tour final.

World No.2 Jelena Jankovic missed another chance to take the top ranking from fellow Serb Ana Ivanovic losing to Slovakian teenager Dominika Cibulkova in the quarterfinals of the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

En route to defeating second-seeded Jankovic 7-5 6-2 world No.31 Cibulkova won eight straight games. Jankovic at first took a 5-1 lead but couldn’t hold her serve. In the second set, Jankovic played below par and her movement was not very good.

Jankovic could have become new world No.1 if she had reached the final at the Rogers Cup, but for the second consecutive week she failed to realize the dream of becoming top-ranked WTA player.

Cibulkova, who earlier defeated Russia's fifth-seeded Elena Dementieva and No.12 Nadia Petrova, will next face either No.10 Marian Bartoli of France and Japanese veteran Ai Sugiyama. (source: cbcsports, photos: Getty Images)
