cibulkova falls in Rome, is she run out of magic.

World number 10 Dominika Cibulkova lost to Camilla Giorgi of Italy in first round of the premier 5 event.

Cibulkova also lost early in Madrid, she usually has strong clay court campaign. Then, should we ask, is she lost the magic that bring her into top ten and final of Oz open. She drop 0-2 on clay this season.

Earlier this year some observer said that her surge merely becasuse of changing in racquet, her new racquet seem to. Give her advantage, but it not proved.

Nevertheless her clay slump might be because of fatigue she already play too many match this year. Losing to stosur still acceptable, but to lose to Giorgi is something unacceptable given her credibility. Anyway, there still Roland Garros laying ahead she can proved that I'm wrong in eclvaluating her performance on clay..
