Konta Knocked Out in Sydney 1st Round
Defending champion Johanna Konta suffered a reversal of last year’s final when she was bundled out in the first round of the Sydney International by Agnieszka Radwanska on Tuesday.
The Pole had been overpowered in 82-minutes by the Briton in the final last year, but repaid the favour on Ken Rosewall Arena at the Olympic Tennis Centre as she raced to a 6-3 7-5 victory.
The first round loss continues some worrying early season performances for the 26-year-old world number nine Konta.
She struggled to get going in her first two matches last week in Brisbane before she withdrew from her quarter-final with a hip injury.
