Paris: Unseeded Czech Barbora Krejcikova defeated 31st seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia to win her first grand slam title at the French Open in Paris on Saturday.
Watch the French Open women's singles final between Krejcikova and Pavlyuchenkova.
In a match between two first-time slam finalists, it was the 25-year-old from Brno who came out on top to win 6-1 2-6 6-4 on Court Philippe Chatrier.
The match ended with Pavlyuchenkova's backhand landing long on the fourth match point for Krejcikova.
Then Krejcikova blew kisses to the sky, her eyes squeezed shut, in a tribute to her former coach, Jana Novotna, the 1998 Wimbledon champion who died of cancer in 2017.
