Jo Konta - the 'British' thing

[zefarelly]

Yes, top work. First British woman to reach this stage since Jo Durie (who was, apparently, sister of Ian, and daughter of Juke Box).

I'd hit her ( gently) with my purple headed rhythm stick, any day of the week.

Ahem, sorry, off topic, post of the month already, awesome wordage.

Lewis is black so he's not British.

Konte has a foreign name so she's not British.

Simple.

Well that depressed me

Surely the biggest news in Southern Hemisphere women’s tennis since Virginia Wade won Wimbledon in 77.

 

[Albion my Albion]

As soon as she loses she won't be British anyway

Isn't that Konta-intuitive?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Well that depressed me

I do hope you realise I was mocking gammon with my quip, not stating my views. I was thinking of adding a disclaimer but assumed it would be unneccessary....oh well.

Getting away from whatever the conversation is about, Konta vs Elina Svitolina in the Quater Final. It'll be one for the purists!

Someone Konta’s never bested in four attempts. Unless she plays a blinder, I fear the Eastbourne-based Aussie may fall again at this hurdle.
