Oh wow, that's been ages!
Not since as far back as... September 2016!

2016 US Open: Kyle (R16) & Andy (QF) in the mens, and Johanna (R16) in the ladies

Haha! Whoops forgot about that!

Hopefully we will have 3 in the Quarters - now that must have been a very long time ago!

Jo warming up. Emily Appleton has just got through to R3 of the junior girls so lets hope our top lady can join her to play another day.

R4: KONTA, Johanna (GBR) 9 9 def MAKAROVA, Ekaterina (RUS) 30 34 6-1 6-4
Jo recovered from *0-40 in the last game with the help of two aces to make it five games in a row. So she still hasn't lost a set.

QF: KONTA, Johanna (GBR) 9 9 v WILLIAMS, Serena (USA) 2 2 CH=1 2002
