Paul WiltshireComment(0)

Johanna Konta lost 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the third round of the Italian Open in Rome against Latvian Jelena Ostapenko.

The 27-year-old today led the first set comfortably but unfortunately couldn’t keep the quality up in the second set which has been a recent theme for the Brit.

The game lasted 2 hours and 13 minutes and Konta in the first set managed to break the 20-year old’s serve twice to lead 4-1 but then served out.

The reigning Roland Garros champion, Ostapenko will now play either Maria Sharapova or Daria Gavrilova in the quarter finals.
