Offspring in the house of Johanna Konta: The Brit gave birth to her first child Emmeline on Monday. It was only in December last year that Konta surprisingly ended her career as an active player at the age of 30. Mother and child are doing well, as Konta emphasized in a first public statement.

Johanna Konta has reached a total of three semi-finals at Grand Slam level in her career, at the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon. Konta climbed to fourth place in the world rankings and reached her career high in July 2017. In total, Konta was able to win four titles at WTA level. The last of these in Nottingham in 2021.

Successor of Konta in Raducanu's hands

In the post-Konta era, Emma Raducanu is currently the best Brit in the WTA ranking. The sensational US Open winner from 2021 fell back by 72 places after the 2022 edition and is currently only in 83rd place. Immediately after her early exit in New York City, the 19-year-old emphasized that she welcomed this restart.

Johanna Konta, on the other hand, has said goodbye to tennis for a good nine months now: since then, the 31-year-old has indulged in her private life: together with her dog, her husband – and now her daughter Emmeline.
