Karolina Muchova saved a match-point to stun Aryna Sabalenka and reach her first grand slam final at the French Open on Thursday.
The unseeded Czech fought back from being 5-2 down in the deciding set to claim a 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5), 7-5 victory in a tremendous contest lasting three hours and 13 minutes.
After collecting the Australian Open trophy, Belarusian Sabalenka was attempting to win back-to-back grand slam titles and appeared to have turned things in her favour. But she tightened up in the sight of the line, and Muchova made her pay.
