• Last British hope is beaten 7-6 (5), 6-1 on Centre Court
• Czech Strycova will meet Serena Williams in last four
Johanna Konta left Wimbledon frustrated with herself and angry with her critics on Tuesday evening, one win short of a semi-final against Serena Williams and reluctant to drill deeper into the causes of another collapse when in sight of the bigger prize at a major.
All tournament Konta had played the sort of tennis worthy of much more than losing in straight sets to an unseeded opponent for the second slam in a row, and she seemed to drown in her own disappointment when she handed the determined Czech Barbora Strycova a ridiculously easy win and that coveted place in the last four opposite Williams on Thursday.
