- Czech player prevails 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 at Roland Garros
- Title represents first grand slam crown for Krejcikova
Barbora Krejcikova might have feared her chance of winning the French Open was slipping away when the trainer came on to treat her thigh just as Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was about to seal the second set. As it turned out, the 25-year-old Czech would be the stronger player in the decider, twice breaking her opponent to win a maiden grand slam singles title 6-1, 2-6, 6-4.
Pavlyuchenkova struggled with her movement as the match wore on and resorted to swinging for the fences in the final set as Krejcikova took control.
