Tennis news - Johanna Konta beaten by Dayana Yastremska in early upset

It took less than 80 minutes for the Rogers Cup to produce an upset on Monday as Ukrainian teenager Dayana Yastremska beat British 13th seed Johanna Konta 6-3 6-2 in the first round.

Yastremska, ranked 33 in the world, squandered four match points but took her fifth opportunity, dispatching Konta before the local time had barely passed noon on the Toronto hardcourt.

The result avenged Yastremska's loss to Konta when the pair previously met at Eastbourne in late June.
