Sabalenka 5-5 Swiatek*
Aryna Sabalenka shakes her fist as Iga Swiatek nets to put her in charge at 30-0 and then, with a sarcastic look of 'finally', finds a couple of first serves to hold to love.
A first spot of scoreboard pressure very well handled.

A nervy Iga Swiatek looked down and out in this set, a double break behind the world number one and unable to hold serve.
But, for the first time in the match, the defending champion leads Aryna Sabalenka, who from 4-1 up must now serve to stay in the set. Goodness me.

This is becoming a fascinating duel.
Aryna Sabalenka is still very much successful when she hits her return through the centre of the court, with enough depth to have Iga Swiatek on her back foot.
There is still a tiny chance for the world number one in this game.

Sabalenka has not been happy with surface underfoot from early on.
A few times she has slightly lost her footing and gesticulated at the clay in annoyance.
So it is perhaps not a surprise to see her slip over.
Thankfully it seems to be wounded pride and a lost point rather than anything too serious.
Sabalenka 4-4 Swiatek*
A heavy groundstroke to the back of the court from Aryna Sabalenka proves too hot for Iga Swiatek to handle as the top seed edges ahead on Swiatek's serve.
Sabalenka then tumbles at the back of the court, allowing Swiatek to pop a forehand into an empty court, but the world number one rises to her feet and makes her way to deuce.
The crowd raise the noise levels inside Court Philippe Chatrier, sensing a big end to this game - and the set.

But it is Iga Swiatek who takes the fifth point for another look at a break...
And would you believe it, Aryna Sabalenka double-faults!
From 4-1 down, Swiatek is back level in the first set. What a momentum swing.

Aryna Sabalenka is getting a little bit frustrated with her serve here.
She is straining and I'm not sure whether she has seen that Iga Swiatek has gone back behind the baseline.
She tends to lose patience when her opponent is able to extend the rallies over and over again, we saw that in the Indian Wells final.

Now it's Aryna Sabalenka shouting at her team.
The world number one, despite retaining a position of authority in this first set, is beginning to feel the heat under the roof on Court Philippe Chatrier.
After a double fault is followed by a miss, Sabalenka lets out a huge roar as she gets level and tries to psych herself up for anther couple of points.

You can just tell that Iga Swiatek has adjusted to the heaviness of these shots from Aryna Sabalenka.
She is reacting a lot better and her eyes are sending the reactions to her brain quicker.
*Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek
That could be huge for Iga Swiatek. A first hold brings the defending champion within one game of Aryna Sabalenka for the first time. It's game on!

That's not an easy situation for Aryna Sabalenka at all.
She thought she was up 5-1 and we could see the tension leaving her body for a second.
Iga Swiatek has just glanced up to her box quizzically, asking what to do with her serve because she hasn't held serve as yet. I'm not sure whether she got any tactical advice.
Sabalenka 4-2 Swiatek*
A run of unforced errors from Aryna Sabalenka, who makes a really poor miss at the net, gives Iga Swiatek three chances to complete her first hold of serve.
Sabalenka closes to within a point with a backhand into the corner. How Swiatek could do with this next point...

Image source, BBC SportIt's disappointing to see Court Philippe Chatrier not completely full for a match of this magnitude between the two biggest stars in the women's game.
There are gaps in the posh seats closest to the action, as well as empty sections in the top part of the lower bowl.
Tickets at Roland Garros have increased slightly this year, with the main show-court costing either €330 (£280) or €445 (£375) for today's action.
Perhaps those lucky enough to afford them are saving their energy for French hope Lois Boisson later...
Sabalenka 4-2 Swiatek*
Iga Swiatek strikes back... again!
The defending champion may have not managed to hold serve yet, but she is at least getting stuck in to Aryna Sabalenka's now. There is still a lot of work to do but, crucially, it means she is not out of this first set.

Iga Swiatek dials up the pressure by reaching break point, which Aryna Sabalenka swiftly dismisses with a powerful first serve.
Swiatek then fires back with a blistering backhand return to prevent Sabalenka escaping to a 5-1 lead, before forcing a second break point.

Iga Swiatek is having a stern word with herself between points as she desperately searches for some rhythm out there.
Aryna Sabalenka thinks she has wrapped up a hold with a brutal ace at 40-30 but a late let call by the chair umpire means her joy is short-lived.
Swiatek capitalises, taking a free swing at the end of a game she thought she had already lost to reach deuce.

Interestingly enough, Iga Swiatek has adjusted her return stance.
She is now standing a few feet further back behind the baseline, allowing herself more time to react to Aryna Sabalenka's serve.
It is the same thing she did against Elena Rybakina when she was down 6-1 2-0 - and we all know how that ended.
*Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek
Frustration for Iga Swiatek, but relief for Aryna Sabalenka just as it had begun to look as though her opponent had stolen the momentum - or at least part of it.
Swiatek nets on the second break point to put Sabalenka back in absolute control.

We are catching glimpses of a strategy here from Iga Swiatek. She is using her backhand inside-out into Aryna Sabalenka's forehand.
Sabalenka's forehand is a huge weapon, but in Madrid and Rome it was a little bit awry and shaky at times.
Swiatek has not only arrived on the board, she has also arrived in this match.

Perhaps I spoke too soon...
Iga Swiatek may have gained a foothold on Aryna Sabalenka's serve, but she continues to struggle to handle pressure in her own games.
A double fault gifts Sabalenka three break points for a 4-1 lead.
