    Uh oh. Vondrousova messes up a backhand at the net and it bounces a few feet in front of her racquet.

    Not what you want on a court with a 15,000 capacity.

    You might have guessed from the score but Barty is playing some very, very good tennis.

    She comes to the net and pops the ball over on an angle to win the point. But a forehand goes into the net on the next point and it's back to deuce.

    Wait a minute. Vondrousova goes for a lob this time and is more successful. Deuce.

    Barty attempts to lob her opponent and Vondrousova goes to finish off the 15-shot rally with a smash. But it lands out. 30-15.

    Things really aren't going the Czech's way.

    Will it take Barty less than an hour to win her first Grand Slam title?

    It seems so at the moment.

    James Stevenson: Barty is on a mission. Complete focus. Solid game plan. Knows what she has to do. Everything Konta wasn’t yesterday.

    Barty 6-1 0-0 Vondrousova*

    Barty has won 24 of 25 matches after winning the first set this year. Sorry, Vondrousova fans.

    The umpire comes down to check whether Bary's forehand has hit the line. She says it has. Hawk eye shows it was out, but the Australian wins the point. 30-30.

    A hold here is pretty crucial for Vondrousova.

    She wins the first point, but double faults to lose the second.

    There were very few mistakes made by Barty in that first set. Both players were a little more tight, but the Australian has a little bit more experience at this level.

    If you're a fan of profound tattoos, you might like Marketa Vondrousova.

    The Czech teenager has one that might serve as inspiration now she's a set down in her first Grand Slam final.

    It's on her elbow and says 'no rain, no flowers'.

    Barty 6-1 Vondrousova

    Vondrousova saves the first set point with a speedy return.

    But Barty fist pumps as she wins the second. Twenty-eight minutes played. Not bad, that.

    One of the struggles of Vondrousova is not winning many points on her first serve - only 29%

    A lot to do with Barty and how aggressive she's been.

    A lovely smash and Barty has two set points.

    *Barty 5-1 Vondrousova

    Vondrousova has Barty on the ropes (i.e. behind the baseline) and the Australian hits long. 0-15.

    Barty levels things with an ace.
