Johanna Konta has opened up about her torrid, Covid-19-affected summer, during which she was withdrawn from Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament as a close contact of an infected team member. The British No 1 then contracted the virus herself, ruling her out of the Olympics. It was a further blow because Konta had only just started to rediscover her confidence on the court, having won her fourth career WTA title in Nottingham before Wimbledon. Instead, she remained at home where she suffered a wide range of symptoms and she has had to rebuild her physical fitness once again.
