    That was "bev". Is that part of the vocab now?

    Vondrousova, who appeared to be out of the point after she is sent wide, produces an outlandish return that dumbfounds Konta.

    Now four match points!!

    To further add to the lack of grandeur unbefitting to a Grand Slam semi-final, a Roland Garros janitor decides to clunkily change the bins at the back of the shallow lower tier.

    Not sure it puts off the players, but it does put off the fans and journalists sat in front of this diligent worker.

    Another mini-break for the Czech teen.

    Konta needs to make this next serve count.

    Konta goes for broke with a drop-shot that doesn't pay off before Vondrousova tries the same on her own serve, but that too doesn't pay off.

    We are back on serve.

    Those last three points, you could not ask for anything more. She's lost her way, but that was very, very strong mentally.

    A brilliant serve at the body is too good for Vondrousova before another good serve and winner at the net brings up the tie-break.

    Nerves of solid clay from Konta.

    Jon Parry: Johanna Konta is showing that mentality is very important in sport. Dropping set winning service and break points in both sets allowing her opponent to win the first set and probably the second. Head is gone.

    Matthew Venn: Getting a feeling of déjà vu! Come on Konta!

    Nicola: Konta has lost her way here.... Not sure whether she can pull it back now

    Another brave shot at the net from Konta lands safely beyond the reach of Vondrousova, who does not move.

    15-0.

    Those who are brave end up winning these sorts of matches. This is a huge test for Konta to hold this game.

    Vondrousova will not want to go off.

    She's in the ascendancy and then some.

    40-0 before Konta wildly launches one which drops well wide of the tramlines.

    The Czech teen is one game away from the final.

    Konta is two games away from defeat. She's also two games away from taking us into a deciding set.

    The rain is starting to come down with a little more force now.

    Umpire Kader Nouni looks up at the sky, then leans back contently in his chair.

    He's going nowhere yet, neither are the players.

    15-40 as Vondrousova gets away with a poor shot.

    Two break points.

    Make that now one after Konta plays a brave cushioned angled volley at the net.

    Konta's certainly making more unforced errors than she has done on her way to the semi-finals, in which she has only dropped one set.
