TENNIS- Czech teenager Marketa Vondrousova defeated Britain’s Johanna Konta to enter her maiden French Open final.

The 19-year-old Russian is the first teenager since Ana Ivanovic at the 2007 French Open and the first teenager to reach a Grand Slam final.
World number 38 Vondrousova will face either eighth seed Ashleigh Barty or fellow teenager Amanda Anisimova in Saturday's final.
