    Johanna Konta beats top seed at Eastbourne despite injury scare

    Johanna Konta beat top seed Angelique Kerber at Eastbourne to make it through to the semi-finals.

    The victory came following a worrying fall for Britain’s number one. After tumbling heavily to the ground, the 26-year-old forced a stoppage of almost 10 minutes as she received treatment.

    She went on to clinch the match 6-3 6-4 against Germany's Kerber, with a display that shows her Wimbledon credentials.

    Konta, ranked number seven in the world, is the first British woman to be ranked in the top 10 at Wimbledon since 1984.

    The nation will be hoping she can become the first home player to win the ladies' singles title since Virginia Wade in 1977.
