4-4 first set. Crunch time. Caro needs to hold.
Phew! That was tight but Caro does it.
5-5. Kiki's turn to hold.
Dammit.
Strycova to serve for the first set.
Lots of work for Amelie to do now.
Something needs to fire Kiki up. Similar thing happened in the semis and then there was a controversial line call and Kiki turned into another player after the Dutch claimed a ball was out when it wasn't.

Strycova has been channelling her inner Lendl and has gone for both French girls with a shot in the first set. She just got hit herself and got all outraged about it.

Very close, excellent match but first set Czechs. I noticed they are targeting Kiki. Seems to be paying off.
Still so impressed at where Caro is standing to receive serve tho., so intimidating!
Go girl!

Just couldn't get the Ad at the end of that game. KaPlis saved 2 bps. Kiki now needs to hold serve and I'm not sure how much confidence I have in that right now.
Kiki holds, but feels like it is Caro doing most of the work. Something needs to swing in favour of the French.

Eek. They just can't take a bp when they have one. The more that slip away the more the pressure is going to build on their own serves.

I'm getting nervous now. Feels like it is slipping away from the French quickly now.

And the Czech's break. Absurd shot from Strycova to get the bps and they convert the first.
Can France break back sooner rather than later?

Damn Pliskova and her serve!
Wish the bloody commentators would STFU!
Time for Kiki to really step it up on serve.

French fading fast now, especially Kiki who is missing an awful lot. Shame, has been a thrilling Fed Cup. Caro is Andy Murray of squad but alas Kiki doesn't seem to be the Jamie  |

BREAK!!
Please tennis gods may we have a hold now?
Ugh...
Come on Caro.
*%£&
£&%*
Czech's channelling their inner Andy with their lobs.
Too stressful.
Phew!
5-4
That was a true show of mental stength from Caro then. 10 minutes of pressure in one game.

KaPlis holds. 5-5. Pressure all on Kiki now. Can she hold now? Or will it be a carbon copy of the first set?
Come on Kiki!
Strycova is a menace at the net.
Come on Kiki - you need to find that inner strength you showed against the Dutch in April.
