    Krejcikova is losing her grip on these groundstrokes. It's like a blizzard has come in and she's lost her range.

  2. Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 6-2 1-0 Krejcikova*

    It's not quite landing for Barbora Krejcikova like it did in the opening set, where everything was right on the money. The 25-year-old cups an awkward backhand just long but recovers well with a leaping serve. 30-30.

  3. Konta through to Nottingham final

    This is not the only tennis match going on this afternoon.

    Over in Nottingham, British number one Johanna Konta has been in action - and she's reached the final!

    She beat Serbia's Nina Stojanovic 6-2 6-7 (2-7) 7-5 to reach her first final in two years.

    She will face either Chinese fourth seed Zhang Shuai or American 14th seed Lauren Davis in Sunday's final.

    Konta, without back-to-back wins this season until this event, is finding good form at the right time with Wimbledon just over a fortnight away.

  4. Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 6-2 1-0 Krejcikova*

    Krejcikova gets the Russian stretching for a backhand to get on the board at 30-15 but Pavlyuchenkova responds by steaming down an ace and holding serve after the Czech whips a forehand wide.

  5. *Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 6-2 0-0 Krejcikova

    After a seven-minute break, we're back under way for the deciding set. It's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to serve first.

  6. *Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 6-2 0-0 Krejcikova

    Bit of a break between sets here as Barbora Krejcikova heads off for a bathroom break. It's been more than five minutes since the last point so Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova is going through a routine of racquet swings to keep warm by her chair.

  7. Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That was a thoroughly deserved set, the way she picked herself up mentally. She dusted herself down and remained positive.

  8. Naomi Cavaday
    BBC Sport tennis commentator

    It could not have been more different for Pavlyuchenkova from the first set. She totally turned around her game. We'll have to watch out for that leg though.

  9. Game and second set - Pavlyuchenkova

    Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 6-2 Krejcikova

    That'll do it!

    A gruelling baseline rally but it's Pavlyuchenkova who takes control of the point with a sweeping backhand winner and she takes the set.

    We're heading for a decider.

  10. Set point

    Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 5-2 Krejcikova*

    Perfect. Right in the postage stamp from Barbora Krejcikova, winding a backhand on to the chalk. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova responds with some big-hitting groundstrokes from behind the baseline and brings up set point as Krejcikova undercooks a slice.

    A second chance to level up this final.

  11. Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 5-2 Krejcikova*

    Not the ideal time to need treatment when you're trying to close out the second set.

    The Chatrier crowd welcome Pavlyuchenkova back with warm applause and now Krejcikova will serve to stay in the second set.

  12. Medical timeout

    Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 5-2 Krejcikova*

    Now then, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova is having a talk with the trainer and she's going to receive some on-court treatment. We've just seen a replay and she grabbed her left thigh during that last rally. She's taking the opportunity to chow down a few Haribo sweets.

  13. Krejcikova breaks

    Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 5-2 Krejcikova*

    And this time she gets it!

    From set point down, Barbora Krejcikova strides on to a short ball to flick away a smart forehand at mid-court and break back.

  14. *Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 5-1 Krejcikova

    Bit serve from the Russian that her opponent can only coax back into the guts of the net but Krejcikova responds with a sweeping backhand winner. Another chance to break.

  15. Break point

    *Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 5-1 Krejcikova

    Krejcikova saves set point with a string of deep forehands and now has a break point of her own as Pavlyuchenkova fires long.

  16. Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    It's gone a little bit wayward, there were some better rallies earlier in the match.

  17. Set point

    *Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 5-1 Krejcikova

    We've hit the hour mark, and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has set point at 40-30 after Barbora Krejcikova leaks a forehand into the tramlines.

  18. Pavlyuchenkova breaks

    *Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 5-1 Krejcikova

    But Krejcikova can't deal with the Pavlyuchenkova response this time and the Russian breaks! She's one game away from levelling this final.

  19. Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 4-1 Krejcikova*

    Barbora Krejcikova staves off the first and fends away the second too as Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova jabs a forehand return long. Deuce.

  20. Break points

    Pavlyuchenkova 1-6 4-1 Krejcikova*

    It's the Russian in control at the moment. An absolute corker of a backhand return that dashes beyond Krejcikova for 0-30.

    The Czech steadies the ship with a backhand winner of her own after patiently watching the ball drop out of the Parisian sky, but can only slice the next long.

    Two break points in Pavlyuchenkova's favour.
