PARIS (Reuters) - Ashleigh Barty has all the tools to become the first Australian woman in 46 years to win the French Open title when she faces fearless Czech teenager Marketa Vondrousova on Saturday.

Barty's compatriot Sam Stosur got to the final at Roland Garros in 2010 but failed to get her hands on the Suzanne Lenglen Cup which is within reach of the eighth seed, who has a unique variety of shots, tactical nous and a cool attitude.
