Time for Konta to learn the anthem

Britain's Johanna Konta, born in Australia of Hungarian roots, reached the US Open second round on Tuesday, but admitted the national anthem still remains a mystery.

Konta (pictured) pledged to learn the words to God Save the Queen as soon as possible, wary of the controversy over so-called "plastic Brits" who represented the country at the Olympics.

"I'm embarrassed to say I don't know the national anthem yet. I promise, please write this, I promise I will learn it and quiz me next time," said the Sydney-born player.
