    Barty 1-0 Vondrousova*

    It's a fast start from Barty. She goes 30-0 up on Vondrousova's serve. The Czech claws on point back, but Barty has two break points.

    It's important for both players who have never been a major final to relax enough.

    Barty won her service game so now she can relax.

    Barty's fans are probably not too happy with the time it took for that men's semi-final to finish.

    It's now late in the evening in Australia.

    Almost as if the organisers are worried that any empty seats at the start of the women’s final would not be a good look for them...

    If you can't read the message being displayed on the big screen outside Chatrier, it says: "The next match on Court Philippe Chatrier is about to start. Please take your seat, the players need your support!"

  15. Thiem: 'I'll leave everything on the court'published at 15:09 British Summer Time 8 June 2019

    Djokovic 2-6 6-3 5-7 7-5 5-7 Thiem

    Here's our French Open finalist Dominic Thiem: "My first five-set match of this tournament. I'm in the semi-final with one of the best players of all time. It was unbelievable day for me.

    On the rain breaks: "It's never easy to go on go off. To go to 100% then go to 0% in the locker. Of course if you win everything is good. I am very happy.

    On Sunday's final: "I think all the time if someone reaches the final it's against Rafa. It was an amazing experience last year. He is the favourite going into the final but it's my second. I'll leave everything on the court."

    He's done it!

    Dominic Thiem crouches to the baseline then springs skywards with both arms raised in triumph.

    What nerve, what execution. What a winner!

    Novak Djokovic’s 26-match Grand Slam winning streak is over.
