Jasmine Paolini edged out Donna Vekic in a thrilling semi-final to become the first Italian to reach the Wimbledon women's singles final.
In one of the best matches of the tournament, the Croat stormed through the first set and then led 4-3 with a break of serve in the deciding set, needing only two holds of serve to reach her first Grand Slam final.
But amid sensational scenes on Centre Court, the hugely popular Paolini managed to instantly get the match back on serve.
She failed to convert a match-point chance in the 10th game and then another two games later in a dramatic semi-final then went to a 10-point tie-break.
