Garbine Muguruza is off to her first career French Open final, following a 6-2, 6-4 win over Samantha Stosur in the semis.
Muguruza, seeded fourth, served two aces to bring up match point and won in 1 hour and 16 minutes after Stosur netted her stroke.

Stosur was undone by a string of errors, including twice serving double faults on break points in the second set.
Muguruza served for the match at 5-2 but was broken at love, the victim of nerves.
''It's always a difficult moment,'' she said after the match.
Muguruza was also a finalist at Wimbledon in 2015. She'll take on World No. 1 Serena Williams on Saturday with La Coupe des Mousquetaires at stake. Muguruza is 1-3 against Williams in Grand Slams.
