Johanna Konta

Johanna Konta was ranked 150th in the spring of 2015, a Sydney-born daughter of Hungarian parents still searching for a level worthy of her serve. Working with sports psychologist Juan Coto, she rebuilt her mind for the biggest points rather than her strokes, and the results arrived fast: a run to the top 10 by late 2016, the first British woman there since Jo Durie three decades earlier. Coto died suddenly that November. Four months on, Konta beat Caroline Wozniacki in the Miami final, the title that told the tour the rise was no accident.

Three major semifinals followed: the Australian Open in 2016, Wimbledon in 2017, where home support could not push her past Venus Williams, and Roland Garros in 2019, plus a US Open quarterfinal that same year. She reached world No. 4 in July 2017, the highest ranking by a British woman since Virginia Wade. A chronic right knee injury ended it, 4 career titles banked, when she retired in December 2021 at 30.
