    Serving for Wimbledon you have to tell yourself to stick to the same routine and have the same kind of momentum as you have in previous games. At the same time there's this other voice saying 'one more game, you're just one game away, you can do it'.

    You're having this conversation back and forth between two parts of your brain but the one that keeps you calm is the one you want to focus on the most.

    Krejcikova has lost just one point on her serve in this third set. That is out of this world.

    Paolini needs to do something to try and get herself into this game.

    I think Paolini has fought so hard. However, ultimately, just not hard enough. Hats off to Krejcikova though. What a player.

    A ball kid has just made a superb reflex catch to the take in the ball after Barbora Krejcikova directed it towards them following a fault.

    The crowd cheer which gives these two players a rare break from the tension.

    All Jasmine Paolini can do is force Barbora Krejcikova to serve out the match and the Czech fires a backhand service return into the net.

    The Czech, the 31st seed aiming for a first Wimbledon title, will now be serving for the trophy.

    Krejcikova has got her forehand firing again, and it’s firing her to a Wimbledon title.

    Ouch. It's just so tough at this stage of the match, the challenges do get into your head a little bit before your second serve, especially at this stage.

    It's never easy to hit a second serve after a little delay. It's not the time to hit a double fault. Jasmine Paolini will be kicking herself.

    Oh dear, is that Jasmine Paolini double fault going to be the decisive moment of this final?
