Jo Konta is upbeat about facing Garbine Muguruza in the Second Round of the Australian Open. I remember our last match was very long, Konta said. I am not sure I handle it better in terms of physically feeling better because I still feel crap out there a lot of the time, but I think I have relaxed into it and thought: It is not going to get any better and you might as well crack on. She further added, I grew up in this heat for the first 14 years of my life.
I think I have had enough exposure to it at a young age so I think I save my energy in trying to survive instead of complain the thing that I cant control. She is a great player. Shes got two Grand Slam titles to her name.
She plays big tennis. She competes very well. So that will be a big challenge to me. Konta took out Ajla Tomljanovic in a third-set tiebreak and with the new rules coming in, the player needs to win points to win the match.
I was very conscious to not get excited if I got to seven, she laughed. I saw Katie yesterday and thought, That would be me. If you get to seven, you havent won, just keep going.
I was conscious about that. I was like, It is to ten, to ten, to TEN.
