Krejcikova, who earlier knocked out America's Coco Gauff, has qualified for her first Grand Slam singles final. Here are further details.

The former held a 4-0 lead in the second set before wrapping it up in no time. Both Krejcikova and Sakkari were pumped up in the deciding set, with the former proceeding to the final.

Krejcikova registered a total of 126 points in the match. She hit a total of five aces as against two by Sakkari. She clinched seven out of 15 break-points.
