French Open : Teenagar Vondrousova beats Konta

Npnews24 online : Unseeded Marketa Vondrousova defeated Johanna Konta and reaches to Frencgh Open finals. The 19-year-old lost the first 10 points of the match on a rainy court Simonne Mathieu but the left-hander had more guile than her powerful opponent in testing conditions.

Vondrousova will hope to go one stage further than Ana Ivanovic in 2007, the last teenager to reach the Roland Garros final, when she lost to Justine Henin.

The 28-year-old, who had never won a round at Roland Garros before this year, had three set points when she led 5-3 in the opener, but on first lashed an easy volley well over the baseline with the court at her mercy.

Konta consolidated her lead to 5-3 but again the wheels came off as her game began to disintegrate. Konta bashed away a forehand winner to take the set into a tiebreak but Vondrousova showed remarkable calm to move 6-2 ahead and then clinch victory with a disguised dropshot.
