Four-time Grand Slam champion on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC SoundsServing 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.

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

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.
