Game, set and match Kerberpublished at 05:40 Greenwich Mean Time 28 January 2016
*Kerber 7-5 6-2 Konta
Kerber has never been in a Grand Slam final so there might be a hiccup or two.
A Konta forehand down the line kisses the paint, generating a ripple of applause from the spectators. The comebacks of all comebacks? Steady on.
The British number one's backhand drifts long and she waves her arms in the air, frustrated by the injustice.
At 30-30 there could be a twist, an iffy dropper letting Konta back into the game. But the German responds with a razor-sharp ace. Match point. Is this it? Yes. Konta long on the return. The British number one has come to the end of the road.
