We have just seen Aryna Sabalenka having a really long discussion with her team.

She is frustrated and this is a really important game for her because she won't want to go down a double break in this second set.

It is difficult conditions but she has got to get it together and just accept them.

Coco Gauff gave that lovely quote following her semi-final: "Win or lose, the sun will rise". That's how she managed to process defeat in her previous French Open final, and it is that perspective which is helping her force her way back into this final.

The second seed wraps up an efficient hold of serve to love to consolidate her lead.

It's the perfect start to the second set from Coco Gauff!

Aryna Sabalenka can't maintain her momentum after taking the opener and now she's going to have to play catch-up. Excellent response from Gauff, who evidently has not dwelled on losing the tie-break one bit.

After seeing off the break point, Aryna Sabalenka crouches down low to redirect the ball with a backhand to move to game point, but she frustrates herself with a poorly executed drop shot.

And now Gauff will have a second break point after another unforced error from Sabalenka.

Coco Gauff sets about putting immediate pressure on Aryna Sabalenka at the start of set two and reaches break point. Can she capitalise on this fast start?

Both players take the opportunity to leave the court before the second set. They've certainly earned a breather after that.

It's not long before they're called upon to get back to it, though.

Away we go again - and who knows what's in store. Aryna Sabalenka will serve first.

And breeeeeathe.

If Coco Gauff had won that set, she must have wondered how.

Now she's wondering how she lost it.

From 4-1 down, twice seeing Sabalenka serve for the opener and facing two set points, Gauff was two points from winning it.

Then Sabalenka rattled off four points in a row. That's why she is the world number one...

The first set point of the tie-break falls to Aryna Sabalenka - her third of the set overall - as the world number one holds her nerve in a tense rally...

And at last, Sabalenka takes it!

A dizzying, wonderfully entertaining 77-minute first set comes to an end. What an absorbing final - and there's a lot more to come here!

They have changed sides so Aryna Sabalenka has the wind with her now, which is an advantage even though she is down 3-4.

Every point right now is crucial. This is like a yo-yo, we just have no clue what's coming next.

WOW. Aryna Sabalenka pummels a cross-court return past Coco Gauff before the American has barely had time to react to take back the minibreak on her way to restoring parity at 5-5.

Now this is a massive point on Sabalenka's serve.

Excellent point from Aryna Sabalenka, pinning Coco Gauff on the baseline before tapping over a disguised drop shot to hand over serving duties within one point of her opponent.

This is set up perfectly. Can Gauff hold her nerve?

Aryna Sabalenka is being made to work so hard for every point with Coco Gauff darting around the court and forcing her to play one more shot than she wants to.

The American beats Sabalenka with a superb backhand for 4-1 but the world number one pulls one point back before the change of ends to stay in touch.

Aryna Sabalenka stands with her hands on her hips after missing the line with a backhand, and then another wild shot goes long to gift Coco Gauff control of the tie-break at 3-0.

This is entertaining, but excruciatingly tense.

Sabalenka recovered from failing to serve out against Swiatek to dominate the tie-break.

Can she bounce back from twice failing to serve out here?

It feels like Gauff has all the momentum again...

Ridiculous! Coco Gauff, on the run, lifts a two-handed backhand past Aryna Sabalenka to take us into a tie-break.

And now Coco Gauff will have two break points as Aryna Sabalenka once again goes through the motions on serve!

Seven breaks of serve so far. Is there another twist to come here? You certainly wouldn't bet against it.

After 65 minutes, Aryna Sabalenka once again has the set in her sights.

But the world number one glares at her team and has plenty to say to them after missing a backhand for 15-30.

We did question whether the forehand and second serve could let Coco Gauff down.

She hit two double faults in that game, allowing Aryna Sabalenka to take the advantage again.

The wind can really help her on some of the second serves though, because it will carry that ball a little bit further or wider.

This is quickly becoming everything those lucky enough to have a ticket for today's action on Court Philippe Chatrier hoped it would!

Another brilliant point unfolds, and this time Aryna Sabalenka comes out on top at the net to break again for a second chance to serve out the opening set.

Coco Gauff recovers to deuce but Aryna Sabalenka earns a second break point with a delightful drop shot of her own.
