<p>Slovakia’s Dominika Cibulkova is confident she can win a Grand Slam title one day as her run to the Australian Open final showed she can adapt her game to all surfaces.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The 24-year-old, the first Slovakian woman to reach a Grand Slam singles final, was beaten 7-6 (7-3), 6-0 by China's Li Na in the final on Saturday.<br /><br />But having taken Maria Sharapova and Agnieszka Radwanska out en route, the 20th seed said she was knocking on the door.<br /><br />“I'm 24 years old and I have already played in a Grand Slam final,” she told reporters. “I feel like my game is there to challenge the biggest names and to beat them, so why not (win a Grand Slam)?<br /><br />“When you play a Grand Slam final, it's a big step. I'm ready to take it. I was waiting for this for a long time. Now I want to do 100 percent to keep it up.<br /><br />“It changes the way you see yourself. Now I know I'm 100 percent sure I can do it. I get so much confidence from this tournament.<br /><br />“I don't want to see it as a pressure. I want to keep going like that. I already did well before at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, so I can play on every surface.”<br /><br />Cibulkova said Li's greater weight of shot made the difference.<br /><br />“She was the one who was dictating the game,” she said. “My serve wasn't really working, so she could push me from the first balls and I was under pressure all the time.“Sometimes I caught myself running one metre behind the baseline. That's not how I play. This is why she was better.”</p>
