Who is Johanna Konta?
Johanna Konta: The British number one sensation in Wimbledon. Konta, now the world number seven, admits she was "pretty serious" about her tennis from the age of nine, and her sleep-deprived father would no doubt agree. His daughter used to drag him out of bed at five in the morning to go for a run. Sixth seed Konta, 26, matched Virginia Wade's 1978 feat with a gutsy 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 win over Romanian second seed Simona Halep. She has equalled her best Grand Slam run and will next face Venus Williams.
