Konta keen to rebound

Johanna Konta, Britain's female No 1, is hopeful of returning to next year's WTA tour fitter and stronger after a disappointing 2018.

Speaking at the Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open, Konta said she is aiming to replicate her form of 2017, when she rose as high as No 4 in the world and reached the Wimbledon semifinals.

"I haven't done as well as I would have liked so far this year, but 2017 and 2016 were exceptionally strong," said Konta. "I think it's important to recognize that, and what I'm working towards is having more exceptionally strong years.
