    Talk about nerves, even though Mirra Andreeva has been in big matches much more often, I think there is more pressure for Andreeva to deal with. It is not a nice position to be in.

    Another break incoming?

    Mirra Andreeva's first double fault of the match makes it 15-30 and she throws in another on break point down to surrender the game.

    It is not like the play is being blown away by the wind. It just keeps changing all the time. That is what makes it so awkward.

    Chwalinska 1-2 Andreeva*

    Mirra Andreeva goes wide on the backhand side on the first of those two break points, but Maja Chwalinska mishits a forehand at the end of a long rally on the second, and Andreeva has the advantage again in the first set.

    Three breaks of serve to start the final.

    If Maja Chwalinska plays like she did in the semi-final, then I think she could win this. Come on Maja!

    Intelligent play moving the spin and speeds around from Maja Chwalinska. On the backhand side, Mirra Andreeva is struggling a bit more.

  8. Chwalinska breaks straight backpublished at 14:40 BST 6 June

    *Chwalinska 1-1 Andreeva

    The perfect reply by Maja Chwalinska, who takes the second of the break-point chances to get herself on the scoreboard.

    After both players throw in some loopy forehands, Andreeva eventually can't find the court and it's all square.

    A fine winner and an unforced error by Mirra Andreeva put Maja Chwalinska 0-30 up in Andreeva's opening service game.

    A misplaced volley from Andreeva means it's two break-back points for the Polish qualifier.

    Game, set and match - Odapublished at 14:37 BST 6 June

    Oda 6-3 6-3 Hewett

    More French Open heartbreak for Alfie Hewett.

    He was 3-0 up in the second set, but Tokito Oda reeled off six games on the spin to wrap up his fourth straight Roland Garros title.

    It's a second successive defeat in the singles final for Hewett in Paris, but at least he was able to win a seventh straight doubles title with fellow Brit Gordon Reid yesterday.

    It is going to be very windy, so it is tricky for both players.

    I would think conditions like this would favour Maja Chwalinska.

    Andreeva is fast moving forward. I am sure [coach] Conchita Martinez would have told Andreeva to run after every single drop shot.

  12. Andreeva breaks in opening gamepublished at 14:34 BST 6 June

    Chwalinska 0-1 Andreeva*

    Two more powerful winners, one on the forehand and one on the backhand, earn Mirra Andreeva the first break of serve in the match.

    It's going to be an interesting mix of styles in this match and, in the first game at least, Andreeva's extra power won the day.

    *Chwalinska 0-0 Andreeva

    Ryan Harrison
    Former French Open men's doubles champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    A perfect example in the last two points that Mirra Andreeva has the overwhelming power, so if Maja Chwalinska doesn't want to stay in the rally, she will look at using some variation.

  14. Second break point savedpublished at 14:33 BST 6 June

    *Chwalinska 0-0 Andreeva

    The drop shot doesn't work out on this occasion for Maja Chwalinska, slicing it just wide, but a clean forehand winner takes the opening game back to deuce.

    *Chwalinska 0-0 Andreeva

    Evidence straight away that Maja Chwalinska will be trying to mix things up with some some heavy spin.

    Mirra Andreeva goes for the power play, a forehand winner down the line bringing up break point.

    But Chwalinska saves it with a brilliant volley at the net that drops stone dead inside the service box.

    *Chwalinska 0-0 Andreeva

    Maja Chwalinska begins her first Grand Slam final with a double fault, but will be much happier after controlling the next point and stroking away a forehand winner.

    At 30-15 up, Chwalinska slices an excellent backhand drop shot but Mirra Andreeva chases it down and knocks away a winner for 30-30.

  17. We're under way!published at 14:26 BST 6 June

    *Chwalinska 0-0 Andreeva

    Maja Chwalinska, the Polish qualifier, will serve first against Russian eighth seed Mirra Andreeva.

    It's the best of three sets for the French Open title.

    To talk about Cinderella runs, it is right up there for me.

    That is the beauty of a Grand Slam final - anything can happen.

    This tournament and the story that has lined up over the past two weeks has been incredible to watch. The young Pole is living her dream in this incredible bubble.

    I absolutely love Maja Chwalinska's attitude.

    As Jonathan suggested earlier, the roof will be open for the start of the match and there's actually a nice bit of sunshine as the players go through their respective warm-ups.
