After claiming her first WTA Tour title on Sunday,
British No 1 Johanna Konta will be aiming to break into
the worlds Top 10, says Barry Cowan. Konta became the
first British woman to win the Bank of the West Classic
in Stanford since Sue Barker in 1977, and now rises to a
career-high No 14 in the world after the 7-5 5-7 6-2
victory against Venus Williams. Konta wins first WTA
title Johanna Konta wins first WTA Tour title, beating
Venus Williams in Stanford In June 2015 she was ranked
147th, but a dramatic improvement in form has seen her
reach the semi-finals of Januarys Australia Open, and at
Eastbourne in June. The 25-year-old turned in one of her
best performances of a remarkable season against the
Wimbledon semi-finalist and Cowan feels that Konta will
now hope to impress at the US Open. Im so pleased that
she put in a performance that she did to win her first
title, said the Sky Sports tennis expert. I think its
huge because I felt it was slightly disappointing at
Wimbledon, not that she played badly, but I thought she
was potentially in the mix to go really far.Her
performance last week in beating Dominika Cibulkova and
then Venus Williams, closing in on the top 10, shes now
there or thereabouts.When you become an elite player, and
Jo is that now, she would have felt being seeded in the
top 16, that there was a real chance for her to go deep
into the second week at Wimbledon. She lost to Eugenie
Bouchard, who obviously wasnt the player she was, but who
did play well, but you rebound back and shes absolutely
done that in her first tournament back and now she can
look forward to the US Open.It all started at Flushing
Meadows for Konta as her winning run of 16 matches was
ended with defeat by fifth seed Petra Kvitova in the
fourth round.She followed that up by making her first
ever Grand Slam semi-final in Australia this year
although she failed to make an impression at the French
Open and at the All England Club this summer. I remember
thinking when she had that great run at the US Open that
it wasnt a flash in the pan, Cowan said. I thought that
here was someone who wasnt one of those players where
everything clicked for two weeks and the rest of the year
she would struggle for results.Its obviously been a
stepping stone and she continues to have great results
and clearly has her head screwed on properly. Shes not
getting ahead of herself.Apart from Serena Williams there
is no one else who is locked in to make a semi-final or a
final of a Grand Slam. Kontas remarkable rise We take an
in-depth look at British sensation Johanna Konta I think
Konta is there with all the others, she has a good a
chance as anyone else, apart from Serena.I think shes
definitely top 10.Check out daily Tennis news on

Cristiano Ronaldo will miss playing against Galatasaray
in the Champions League on Wednesday because of a left
hamstring injury. The Ballon dOr candidate was hurt on
Saturday in a 5-0 victory at Almeria. Ronaldo will miss
the Group B match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium but
could return for Saturdays Spanish league game against
Valladolid, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Tuesday.
"Tomorrow hell start training on the field again and then
well see if hell be available on Saturday," Ancelotti
said. "If theres any risk of (further) injury he wont
play." Ancelotti said the injury was not serious. If
Ronaldo doesnt play on Saturday, his next game will
likely be the last Champions League group match at FC
Copenhagen in two weeks because he is suspended for next
weeks Copa del Rey match against Olimpic Xativa.
Ancelotti said either Angel Di Maria or Jese would take
Ronaldos place against the Turkish club.dddddddddddd "Ill
decide which one tomorrow," Ancelotti said from Madrids
training ground. He said centre back Raphael Varane would
also likely be unavailable until the next Champions
League game in Denmark as he rests a sore right knee.
"His knee needs some time off to rest and recover," the
coach said. "For 10 or 12 days he wont play and we hope
his knee doesnt swell during this time. He wont have
surgery." Madrid is already without injured midfielder
Sami Khedira and defender Fabio Coentrao, while
midfielder Luca Modric is suspended for the game. But
midfielder Xabi Alonso and defender Marcelo were included
in the 19-man squad despite injury concerns. Madrid can
secure a place in the next Champions League round with a
draw on Wednesday.
