Konta had 3 set points at 5-3, missed an easy smash and now serving to stay in the set at 5-6.

That all teen final is looking more likely now.

Useless Aussie, caves in at the important moment.

That will hit Barty hard. What a turnaround!

Crazy. It was looking like Barty was going to wrap that set up in little over 10 mins, and now she's a set and a break down.

Sounds like a typical Brit to me, ha.

Vondrousova will be wondering how on earth she won that first set.

Can't believe she screwed that up, i'm starting to think she hits a brick wall in slam semi's.

Yeah, she lost both previous ones in straight sets and was never in that position. Unbelievable, 3 set points and then even the consolation of serving for it and it's all gone wrong.

5 games in a row.

Konta needs to forget about that set. Easier said than done though. If she doesn't hold her serve here, she's in the shit.

Yeah, it's a huge game here. If it goes, then a rain delay might be her only hope.

2:1 up now - come on Konta...

 

[The Bridge Lad]

Second wind for Barty in the other semi final. Both matches with major momentum swings.

 

[JL1985]

Good girl! Konta's experience should come through now. I haven't been this excited about a tennis match for ages.

 

[Session]

Hopefully that will settle her down.

 

[Metalmicky]

4:2 now... come on girl..

 

[The Bridge Lad]

So Vondrousova serving to stay in the set at 3-5 for a second time, let's hope for a different outcome this time.

 

[Metalmicky]

5:4 then - can she hold her serve...

 

[The Bridge Lad]

I'd love Konta to get to the final because I don't think she'll get a better chance again, but the all teen final in its way would be pretty cool, but I'd be a bit gutted with a Barty-Vondrousova final.

Anisimova has just gone a break up in the decider there.

5:4 then - can she hold her serve...

Yep, the last time she tried to serve it out, the game was a shocker. Not the best start here either.

 

[Metalmicky]

missed an open court there...

serve is tense as well

 

[The Bridge Lad]

FFS

 

[Metalmicky]

5:5.....

Looks like she'e wobbling again........

 

[The Red Telephone]

5-6
No prizes for guessing what will happen next.
