Naomi Broady
British player on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC SoundsWe speak a lot about Coco Gauff's maturity and that set was just the perfect example.
She took the bathroom break, she regrouped and she came out so quickly after the first set which left her with nothing to show for her work.
You could be completely depleted, but she seems completely motivated by it.

To be quite honest, Coco Gauff could serve this out to love, or be broken to love, and I still wouldn't be surprised either way.

It has had a bit of everything, this.
Just when you think one player is on top, there's another momentum shift. We've had brilliant points and spells where the occasion - or perhaps just the gusts of wind - has got to both players.
Just as soon as Aryna Sabalenka gets herself back into the set, the Belarusian is broken to love.
Over to you, Coco...

Sabalenka 7-6 (7-5) 1-4 Gauff*
Greg Rusedski
Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC SoundsThese conditions are so mentally challenging.
If you just turn off for one second, the ball can just get away from you very quickly because of the gusts of wind. Both players are having to move their footwork constantly.
These are some of the most difficult conditions to play in, especially when you're trying to win your first French Open title.

Sabalenka 7-6 (7-5) 1-4 Gauff*
In a rare major final between the world's top two women's players, which following an 80-minute first set is already delivering the drama it promised, a winner-takes-all third-set decider would feel rather fitting.
But there is still a lot of work for Coco Gauff to do before we get there.
Aryna Sabalenka follows the American to deuce, and then forces her first break point opportunity.

Jonathan Jurejko
BBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Roland GarrosThe wind has settled down a bit, but that still hasn't helped Sabalenka's service game.
The top seed has now faced 16 break points in this match, going on to lose serve six times.
Gauff is the one playing with greater clarity at the moment.

Naomi Broady
British player on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC SoundsAryna Sabalenka is a perfectionist. I think you have to be to get to where she is in the world rankings.
It is what drives you, pushes you and enables you to have the motivation to do more than everyone else every day, but I do think it has hindered her at times today.
It has made her too negative and too hard on herself at times.

Sabalenka 7-6 (7-5) 1-4 Gauff*
What a fantastic response this has been from Coco Gauff.
The 21-year-old lands another blow - potentially a knockout one as far as this second set is concerned - to move into a 4-1 lead and close in on forcing a decider.
That, of course, is the exact advantage Aryna Sabalenka held in the opener before Gauff pushed her all the way to a tie-break, so let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

You can tell by the noise Aryna Sabalenka is making after each strike just how hard she is having to work in the longer rallies.
Coco Gauff is right in the zone here and taking full advantage of the world number one's dip in form.
Three more break points for Gauff to put herself in total control of the second set.
