Image source, Getty ImagesMirra Andreeva is feeling it right now, there's a bit of extra zip behind her groundstrokes as she tries to put this French Open final beyond Maja Chwalinska.
The world number 114 shows she's still in the fight, though, with an excellent backhand down the line for a winner.
15-30.
But then Chwalinska can't repeat the feat, sending a backhand long on the next point.

On the windy conditions...
It is unbelievable. It is like playing ping pong with a fan on.

This is the time of the match where I would love to see Maja Chwalinska play more drop shots.

This feels a bit like Halep v Ostapenko in 2017. All the expectation is on Andreeva whereas Chwalinska has a bit of a free hit.

Mirra Andreeva did so well to not panic and Conchita Martinez, for the first time in the match, looks relieved.

Mirra Andreeva has definitely settled in the past two or three games.
She crashes away another cross-court winner to wrap up the first set in 34 minutes with her fourth break of serve of the match.

Mirra Andreeva is showing her maturity. She accepted the ball coming back because of the wind, and she didn't panic or try to overhit it.
That was the rally of this final, by far. Incredible.

Mirra Andreeva finds the line with a groundstroke that shoots past Maja Chwalinska before she has any time to readjust.

Hopefully the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen, perched just in front of them, has enough weight to stay secure.

Again, the wind plays a huge factor in this game. Maja Chwalinska missed it by miles as she is playing with a bit of wind behind her.

Image source, Getty ImagesAt 30-30, Maja Chwalinska is momentarily halted by a gust of wind that picks up some of the Roland Garros clay and swirls it in her direction.
A forehand drifts long and Chwalinska is now break point down...
And a sliced backhand by the Polish qualifier finds the net.
At 4-3, you'd usually say that would be a key moment as regards the destiny of the set, but both players have found it hard to hold serve so far in this final.

Fair to say it's not been a high quality start so far...
The tension of playing such an occasion - and the unsettling wind - have been the contributing factors.
Eventually Maja Chwalinska calmed down to get a first hold of serve and the Polish fans reacted as you'd expect - by dancing and chanting in their seats.
How Mirra Andreeva copes with the crowd - especially if Chwalinska gets on top - will be a defining factor in this final.

Both these young women look very tense at the moment, which is understandable, particularly Mirra Andreeva.

The signature rally from Maja Chwalinska. She doesn't just have an amazing drop shot, but she has the shot to follow it up.
