Unseeded Krejcikova, Pavlyuchenkova reach French Open final

Associated Press  

PARIS — The ball landing at Barbora Krejcikova’s feet on match point appeared to come down behind the baseline. A TV replay confirmed as much, and the unseeded Krejcikova was so sure she raised her arms in triumph to celebrate a berth in her first Grand Slam final at the French Open. “I guess it’s a rookie mistake.” Krejcikova erased the match point with a swinging volley for a nervy winner, and 40 minutes later they were still playing. “She must be playing well.” The same could be said for Krejcikova, who has won 11 consecutive matches, including her first WTA singles title last month at Strasbourg. A protege of the late Grand Slam champion Jana Novotna, Krejcikova seeks to become the first Czech woman to win Roland Garros since Hana Mandlikova in 1981.
