Summary

  1. Krejcikova gets the breakpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 13 July

    *Krejcikova 6-2 2-6 4-3 Paolini

    A massive moment. Jasmine Paolini saved one break point, but faced with another this time she double faults.

    Echoes of her semi-final here, when she was 4-3 and a break down in the decider against Donna Vekic.

    On that occasion, Paolini instantly got the break back and won on a tie-break. Krejcikova is two holds away from the title.

    Surely whoever breaks here will win the match. It's so tense. Both are serving brilliantly.

    A sliced backhand from Krejcikova, on break point, but it goes long. A huge scream of 'come on' from Jasmine Paolini to save the game.

    Tense. Dramatic. Just what we wanted. Deuce.

    I think the crowd are just ever so in favour of Paolini aren't they? But a a little more evenly matched, as we thought they might be, now it's into a third set.

    A half chance for Krejcikova at 0-30 on the Paolini serve and then she finds the corner with a forehand for a break point.

    Huge moment in this match.

    Krejcikova 6-2 2-6 3-3 Paolini*

    A cross-court winning forehand from Krejcikova and that brings about an annoyed swipe of the racquet from Paolini, in one of the few signs of frustration we have seen from her today.

    The pair are swapping comfortable service holds with this one a hold to 15 for Krejcikova.

    We're one set all, 3-3 in the third. Any poor game now could be costly.

    Paolini just does such a good job in making her opponent play one extra ball.

    Another game, but no stress in this one. A hold to love for Paolini is just what she wanted.

    Three games away from becoming a first Italian, male or female, to win a Wimbledon singles title, although she will need to gain a break of serve to do so.

    At this stage of the match, you just cannot afford to give your opponent return errors.

    It feels like Barbora Krejcikova has found her form again.

    She's whizzing through her service games and there's not much Jasmine Paolini can do.

    This is getting tense!

    Krejcikova 6-2 2-6 2-2 Paolini*

    A great forehand swept right into the corner from Barbora Krejcikova, she couldn't have placed it any better.

    Another great forehand winner is too good. If Krejcikova can get her forehand firing like it was in set number one, then she will be a real danger.

    Hold to love, 2-2.

    Paolini is continuing to be aggressive. Tactically, we saw some changes from her in the second set. She was directing a lot more to the Krejcikova backhand.

    I don't think either of them look nervous right now, they're just ready for the battle. They're both really into this match and looking comfortable on serve.

    *Krejcikova 6-2 2-6 1-2 Paolini

    A punch of the air from Jasmine Paolini. As long as she keeps holding her serve, she will never go behind again in this match. She is able to maintain the pressure with a hold to 30 in the third game of the third set.

    The players have raced through the action, with only 86 minutes on the clock so far. The main drama is still to come.

    The serve dropped off in the second set for Krejcikova but that was more like it. You need that easy hold.

    A strong hold from Jasmine Paolini is matched by a routine one from Barbora Krejcikova. One poor game from either player from here on could be the difference between victory and defeat.

    She's come out all guns blazing here hasn't she? She's so aggressive and a big, big serve too.

    Jasmine Paolini hits the front as she starts off set three with a strong hold of serve. How will Krejcikova respond to the scoreboard pressure she will be under throughout this set?
