Johanna Konta 4-6 6-4 8-6 Ekaterina Makarova ... now into semi-finals



"Goodness gracious," says Jo Konta, who goes on to thank the crowd for their support.

"I think it was mentally, emotionally, physically, I left it all out here on court. I ran after every single ball and fought for every single point.

"It's really about keeping on moving and keeping your mind as quiet as possible, the less thoughts the better."

She's Eastbourne through and through.
I'm sure I've seen her on the slightly tattered, windswept seafront public tennis courts.
If I do in future, I'll offer her a game of winner-stays-on

After three hours and four minutes, Konta did it, beat Ekaterina Makarova to reach the quarter-finals.

The Briton will play either 15th seed Madison Keys or China's Shuai Zhang.

y the end of April she had risen nearly 100 places to 211 in the world rankings. Having recently been granted British Citizenship, Konta received a main draw wildcard to Wimbledon 2012,

So she became British when a wildcard at Wimbledon was offered to her. Wouldnt want to be fighting in the trenches with her Mischief

Clarifying the matter in her post match interview, Konta said, "Strewth, you lot are full of bull dust. I've had heaps of stress over this, but when you look closely at my passport I think you'll find it's fair dinkum. I'm a Pom and anyone who says otherwise is a mongrel, Now rack off because I've got the semi's to think about, and I'll be stoked if I win the thing."
