Vondrousova became the first teenager to reach
the French Open final since Anna Ivanovic in 2007.
Konta led 5-3 in the opening set on a rainy Court Simonne-Mathieu
and had three sets points but allowed the 19-year-old to claw
her way back.
The Briton also led 5-3 in the second set but again failed to
capitalize and Vondrousova hit back to take it into a tiebreak
which she won with a superb drop shot.
