The 28-year-old demolished No 7 seed Sloane Stephens in the French Open quarter-finals to set up a semi-final clash with unseeded Marketa Vondrousova.

Konta is seeded No 26 in the competition but swept aside the American star in just 70 minutes.

She had previously beaten No 23 seed Donna Vekic 6-2 6-4 to book her place in the last eight.

Konta has only dropped one set in five matches and will fancy her chances against Vondrousova.
