STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Binigo ni Johanna Konta ang target na ika-50 titulo sa Tour ni Venus Williams sa naitarak na 7-5, 5-7, 6-2 panalo sa championship ng Bank of the West Classic nitong Linggo (Lunes sa Manila).
“It’s actually quite an incredibly humbling experience. It’s a great validation of the hard work you’ve been putting in and it’s a great motivator on the things you want to keep getting better at,” sambit ni Konta.
“I played her twice previously. I knew going into it I was going to be playing against a magnitude of experience.
Venus Williams doesn’t need an introduction.”
Matikas ang opensa ni Williams, galing sa impresibong tagumpay sa Wimbledon, ngunit sapat ang bilis at lakas ni Konta para masabayan ang 16-time major champion.
“She played at such a high level today,” pahayag ni Williams.
“She saved her best tennis for the final, which is what you want to do.”
