Konta, who is preparing for the brand new season at the countrywide tennis Centre in Roehampton, reached the semi-finals of the Australian open in January and received her first WTA tour title at Stanford in June. Ranked global range 147 in June 2015, she climbed to an enviable career-high position of ninth and is presently in tenth vicinity.

She won the WTA’s most improved participant of the 12 months award for 2016.

Konta became the first British girl to attain the pinnacle 10 of the world ratings when you consider that Jo Durie completed the feat in 1984
