Barbora Krejcikova fought off an astonishing comeback from Maria Sakkari in the semi-final to reach her maiden Grand Slam final.

The Czech Republic star won the first set 7-5 but Sakkari took the second 6-4 and pushed Krejcikova to win the third 9-7.

Krejcikova will want to reap the rewards of her hard work in the final on Saturday and her opponent in the match, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, has also reached a Grand Slam final for the first time.

Pavlyuchenkova managed to dispatch Tamara Zidanšek in straight sets, 7-5, 6-3, in her semi-final which will give her confidence heading into the final.

Here is everything you need to know about the final.

What time is the match?

The final will start at 2pm on Saturday, June 12.

Where can I watch?

Odds

Krejcikova -5/6

Prediction

The final will be a close match with both players being in their maiden Grand Slam final. While Pavlyuchenkova reached the final in straight sets, Krejcikova’s dispatching of Coco Gauff in the quarter-finals was impressive and so she could snatch the win. Krejcikova to win 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.
