SET! - KONTA 5-7 VONDROUSOVA. That's a horror show for Konta. From wasting three set points and blowing her chance to serve it out, to this. The Brit sees a 30-15 lead turn into set point for her opponent. Konta seems to be on control with a big forehand, but then inexplicably leaves a defensive lob - and it drops in. The Czech takes the opener in 55 minutes.
KONTA 5-6 VONDROUSOVA. The Czech makes it three games on the spin with a sublime volleyed-lob to pick up Konta's drop shot. JoKo will now serve to try and force a tie break.
