  1. *Konta 5-7 5-4 Vondrousova

    0-15.

    Bad start for Konta before she's gifted one at the net which she slam dunks Lebron-style.

  2. Get Involved

    #bbctennis

    James Stevenson: What is wrong with Konta? Can she not work out that she doesn’t need to be playing drop shots and that they aren’t working for her anyway? Baffling.

  3. *Konta 5-7 5-4 Vondrousova

    Greg Rusedski
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    She has to have memory loss and forget about that first set. This is going to be a huge mental test.

    Is Konta mentally tough? We're going to find out.

  4. *Konta 5-7 5-4 Vondrousova

    Konta failed to make the most of her chances at a similar stage in the first set, however the Czech teen does not even give her glimpse this time.

    The Brit has a chance to serve for the set - will she be able to do it on this occasion?

    Konta had three set points in the first set on the Vondrousova serve and they were all saved. Will it be different this time around?

  6. Konta 5-7 5-3 Vondrousova*

    All of a sudden it's deuce - the wind is once again taking off any power from Konta's serves.

    However, the Brit keeps her composure and forces an error from her opponent on her backhand side to eventually hold.

    It's 5-3 to Konta - can she now break?

  7. *Konta 5-7 4-3 Vondrousova

    A third ace of the match - which is a pretty decent achievement considering the wind - for Konta brings up 30-0.

    40-0 before Vondrousova punishes a weak shot from the back from her opponent.

    Greg Rusedski
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Konta looks a bit more composed, she's put the first set behind her. If she wins the second set, I feel she will push on through.

    She's up the break so she has to move forward.

  9. *Konta 5-7 4-3 Vondrousova

    40-15.

    And now 30-40 after Konta launches a winner down Vondrousova's weaker side. The Brit's backhand has been exceptional today.

    But she follows it up with yet another unforced error - number 27, to be exact.

  10. Konta 5-7 4-2 Vondrousova*

    40-15.

    Konta then moves to the net - to attempt to smash the ball out of Vondrousova's reach.

    Last time she went down that avenue she made a right mess of it, but this time she makes no error.

    It's 4-2.

  11. Thoughts, Greg?

  12. Barty wins the second set

    Barty 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 Anisimova

    It's a very strange semi-final over on Suzanne-Lenglen

    The momentum changed hands several times in the second set. American 17-year-old Amanda Anisimova won the first three games, but Australian Ashleigh Barty won the next six to take the set and level things.

  13. *Konta 5-7 3-2 Vondrousova

    40-15 before Konta goes long on returning Vondrousova's second serve.

    A crucial hold for the teen.

    The rain has held off so far.

  14. Konta 5-7 3-1 Vondrousova*

    I have just had it pointed out that the tattoo reads, "No rain, no flowers".

    Had I glanced at Russell Fuller's earlier entry I would have not asked the question in the first place.

    Note to self: Read entries.

    Konta holds.

  15. *Konta 5-7 2-1 Vondrousova

    Daniela Hantuchova
    Former world number five at Roland Garros

    I used to watch Friends at tournaments. I watched the Thanksgiving Turkey episode over and over and over again.

  16. *Konta 5-7 2-1 Vondrousova

    Anybody know what the tattoo says below Vondrousova's elbow?

    Anyway, it's deuce as Konta's accuracy lets her down from the back.

    Russell Fuller

    Vondrousova crushes the peak of her visor as a nervous habit. Any moment now it's going to snap in half.

  18. *Konta 5-7 2-1 Vondrousova

    Konta has done well on winners on her second serve - it's just flashed up as 73%.

    30-0.

    Tim Miller: Don't envy being in Konta's shoes. Unseeded teenagers have nothing to lose.

    Callum Jewell: As good as Konta is I feel her big weakness is her mentality, she just can't seem to quite get it over the line at the key points of a match

  20. Konta breaks!

    *Konta 5-7 2-1 Vondrousova

    Eye of the Tiger Jo, Eye of the Tiger.

    The Brit delivers a Stephenson of a rocket past the Czech.

    15-40.

    Scratch that. Konta breaks.

    Konta fans don't get your hopes up, of course - we've already been here.
