An unbelievable fight ended on Thursday evening long after 8:00 p.m. (CEST) at the Stade Roland Garros - and finally after 3:18 hours of play, the unseeded Barbora Krejcikova beat Maria Sakkari 7: 5, 4: 6 and 9: 7 by. She fixed her first participation in the final in a single Grand Slam tournament. In doubles, the Czech has already won the title twice in Paris.
Now the lady from Brno will face the Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the final on Saturday, who defeated Tamara Zidansek 7: 5, 6: 3 in the first semi-final. In the head-to-head of the opponents it is so far 0: 0. Nothing stands in the way of another exciting match in the final of the major tournament.
