The final is scheduled for 10am BST Saturday on Court 2. If they win Heather will be the first British winner of this title (first held in 1981). I suspect she is the first finalist, but I cannot find details of the first few beaten finalists (all the winners are on the Roland Garros site, and recent finalists on Wikipedia)

They eventually started and Babos/Watson have started well taking the first set 6-3 but are struggling in the second
