Johanna Konta roars back to beat Zhang Shuai in China Open
British number one Johanna Konta recovered from losing her first two service games to sweep to a 6-4 6-0 win over China’s world number 36 Zhang Shuai in the China Open quarter-finals.
The 25-year-old was 4-0 down in the opening set, but won the final 12 games to deflate Zhang in front of her home fans.
Konta also recorded a straight-set win over Zhang at the Wuhan Open last week.
She will play American eighth seed Madison Keys in the semi-finals.
