Johanna Konta beats Zhang Shuai to reach Australian Open semis
by Guest Wed Jan 27, 2016 6:31 am
Britain's Johanna Konta continued her remarkable Australian Open run with a straight-set win over China's Zhang Shuai in the quarter-finals. The unseeded 24-year-old won 6-4 6-1 to become the first British woman to reach a Grand Slam semi-final since Jo Durie made the US Open last four in 1983. Konta, ranked 47th, will next face German seventh seed Angelique Kerber.
Fellow Briton Andy Murray is on court against Spain's David Ferrer in the men's quarter-finals. "I didn't put anything on this match," said Konta. "I just wanted to come out and play the best level that I could, and give the best entertainment I could." The British number one took full advantage of facing a quarter-final opponent who was also in uncharted waters, seeing off world number 133 Zhang in one hour and 22 minutes.
