    Maja Chwalinska has struggled to find the same rhythm as she has been playing throughout the tournament. I can't imagine how tired is going to wake up tomorrow.

    Maja Chwalinska has done a great job not trying to digest everything that has happened to her. She has been on autopilot and stuck to her routine.

    Maja Chwalinska has no answers to this tennis from Mirra Andreeva.

    It does not look like it is going to be Chwalinska's day.

    There's almost a resigned hush around Court Philippe Chatrier as Maja Chwalinska sends a forehand wide.

    That's a double break for Mirra Andreeva.

    The crowd try to lift the Polish player as she wipes her hands with her towel, but this would be one of the all-time great Grand Slam final comebacks if she wins the title from here.

    Maja Chwalinska deals with high balls so well, but as soon as she has to take it low, her shot-making is deserting her. Error count starting to pile up now.

    Maja Chwalinska can't secure the break back.

    Brilliantly done by Mirra Andreeva on the deuce point, getting the Polish player scurrying this way and that before sending away a winner.

    And a fifth straight point completes an eventful service hold.

    That first Grand Slam title is getting closer for the 19-year-old.

    I feel like Maja Chwalinska's decision-making is not being as clear as it has been throughout the tournament. It is so important for Chwalinska to keep the intensity and to keep the focus.

    Too many unforced errors are coming off the racquet of Maja Chwalinska at the moment.

    The umpire is down off his chair to check a mark and confirms Chwalinska's attempt was long.

    Mirra Andreeva has the break of serve.

    Ooof, Mirra Andreeva is an inch wide with a shot down the line that would have secured the break.

    Maja Chwalinska needs to go back to what was working at the beginning of the match. It is not pretty, but throw in those moonballs.

    Mirra Andreeva, slowly, but surely, is starting to look like a Grand Slam champion out here.
