Czech Barbora Krejcikova showed incredible spirit to beat Maria Sakkari in a classic French Open semi-final and reach her first Grand Slam final.
Krejcikova, 25, won 7-5 4-6 9-7 with her fifth match point - after saving one herself - in a dramatic match lasting over three hours.
Krejcikova thought she had won earlier in the final game but had a line call wrongly overruled by the umpire.
She will play Russian 31st seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the final.
Pavlyuchenkova continued her late bloom at the French Open to also reach her first Grand Slam final, beating Slovenia's Tamara Zidansek 7-5 6-3 on the Paris clay.
Pavlyuchenkova, 29, was a dominant junior player but had never reached a Grand Slam semi-final.
