Serena Williams v Timea Bacsinszky: French Open 2015 – live!

Safarova: “It’s a dream come true.”

And well might she say that – having lost in a Wimbledon semi-final last year, she’s reached her first grand slam final. And at age 28! No mean feat. Congratulations!

Serena got here by beating Hlavackova, Friedsam, Azarenka, Sloane Stephens and Errani. Bacsinszky beat fourth seed Petra Kvitova in the last 16, and also put out 16th seed Madison Keys in the third round. Williams leads 2-0 in head-to-heads, though, and beat Bacsinszky in straight sets at Indian Wells earlier this year.

Whoever wins here will play Lucie Safarova in the final.
