She has won three singles titles on the WTA tour, as well as 11 singles and four doubles titles on the ITF circuit in her career.
Konta was born May 17, 1991, in Sydney to Hungarian parents Gabor and Gabriella, who eventually immigrated to Australia.
Johanna started playing tennis when she was eight years old and won her first professional tournament when she was 16.
She represented Australia from 2004 to 2012, after becoming a UK citizen. She changed her allegiance citing the fact that she largely grew up in the country.
Konta now has Hungarian, Australian and British passports. She went initially to the Sanchez Casal academy in Barcelona before her parents decided to settle in Britain in 2005 for the sake of her tennis career. In the UK she trains at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton.
Konta defeated no other than Venus Williams, in straight sets at the 2016 Australian Open. She also reached the top 100 doubles rankings that same year.
