The end looked nigh for Iga Swiatek when she was match point down against Naomi Osaka in their second-round blockbuster at the French Open.
Tension was etched across the world number one's face in the depths of a dramatic deciding set.
Sweat poured from a furrowed brow as she tried desperately to figure out what was going wrong.
Avoiding defeat, with an angled, crosscourt backhand return that Osaka hit into the net, proved to be the catalyst for Swiatek's march to a third consecutive title at Roland Garros - and a fourth overall.
"[Coming back like that] gives me the feeling that I should always believe in myself, that I can find my tennis even if I'm in big trouble and fight back," Swiatek said in her title-winning news conference.
