Czech Barbora Krejcikova reaches the French Open final, beating Greek 17th seed Maria Sakkari 7-5 4-6 9-7

Krejcikova, who came into the semi-final on a 10-match winning streak after claiming the title in Strasbourg last month, rallied back as Sakkari lost her way in the sixth game. She sealed the opening set with yet another break, however, when Sakkari's crosscourt forehand went wide after clipping the net cord.
