No.1 seed in the Nottingham tournament and 20th player in the world, Johanna Konta scored a clear victory in the final on Sunday against China’s Shuai Zhang (6-2, 6-1), seeded No.4 and ranked 46th in the WTA.
In the first round, the Briton quickly escaped, thanks to two breaks (at 1-1 then 3-1). And she was even more ruthless in the second set, taking Zhang’s serve three times in a row.
