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.”

6 koponan nagbabalak ligwakin ang PVL; lilipat daw sa bagong liga?

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.”
