The way that Pliskova has been improving, it will be a real challenge for Barty to get her confidence back.
Tom Cruise is in the house. Has anyone made the Mission Impossible gag? Oh, everyone? OK.
In that case, let's go with... are we going to see a 'Maverick' performance from either Barty or Pliskova in the third set? The best I've got. Sorry.
Hewett/Reid 7-5 Egberink/Gerard
British pair Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have just taken the first set in their wheelchair doubles final!
Hewett and Reid, who have won 11 Grand Slams together, made the crucial breakthrough in the 11th game against Dutchman Tom Egberink and Belgian Joachim Gerard, before serving out the opener to take control on court three.

Barty 6-3 6-7 (4-7) Pliskova
One is saved by Barty. Can she push the pressure back onto Pliskova and make her serve it out?
No! Gasps of shock as Barty produces a double fault.
To the decider!
*Barty 6-3 6-6 (3-6) Pliskova
Pliskova takes the first but not the second. That means Barty has to serve to stay in the set.

What a point! Pliskova will be calling the net manufacturer and thanking them for that!
Barty 6-3 6-6 (2-5) Pliskova*
What a point! Centre on its feet. Pliskova gets a hand from a net cord, Barty taps back over, but a lob from the Czech has Barty scrambling. She gets it back but it is planted away by Pliskova.
Two serves for the set...
*Barty 6-3 6-6 (2-4) Pliskova
Ball back in Barty's hand, but it is Pliskova who wins the point. Slight advantage to the Czech...

There's a roar from Karolina Pliskova and you just feel that she drew the error from Barty.
She is finally making Barty play.
*Barty 6-3 6-6 (2-3) Pliskova
And again. Barty into the net and that is greeted by a huge roar from the Czech.
Barty 6-3 6-6 (2-2) Pliskova*
Pliskova forces Barty into the net. All square.
Barty 6-3 6-6 (2-1) Pliskova*
Barty wins both of her service points to nose back ahead. Tense.

Barty did win a very good tie-break in the semi-finals against Kerber. If Pliskova can tighten up her game, this could be really tricky one.
*Barty 6-3 6-6 (0-1) Pliskova
Barty was brilliant in the second-set tie-break against Angie Kerber in Thursday's semi-final. There she raced into a 6-0 lead.
Today? Pliskova wins the first point.
Sam Smith
Former British number one on BBC TV
A loose game for Ashleigh Barty, and Karolina Pliskova lives on.
Barty 6-3 6-6 Pliskova
Well, well, well. Serving out for the Wimbledon title isn't easy, eh? Who'd have thought it. An edgy service game from Barty lets Pliskova back in. To tie-break town we go...
*Barty 6-3 6-5 Pliskova
Let's not write the Czech off just yet. At 15-15, she forces Barty onto the back foot and the Aussie pushes a forehand wide. That's 15-30 and half a chance...
*Barty 6-3 6-5 Pliskova
Pliskova might have a few nightmares tonight, but that volley into the net at 40-0 - just as she was finding some rhythm - will be a recurring visualization if she loses.
*Barty 6-3 6-5 Pliskova
Cashy is right. And it is illustrated as Barty hangs tough, getting the ball back to Pliskova and continually asking questions. The Czech can't provide the answer, knocking a backhand into the net.
That is the break. And it means Barty will attempt to serve out... for the championship.

Barty is just mentally tough and she doesn't make mistakes on the big points.
