A Quote by Johanna Konta

One thing that is 100% certain is that emotions are always incredibly high in a match and, I would imagine, definitely more so in a grand slam final.
Twenty days ago my physio asked me if I was if I never think that I can win a Grand Slam or be in final of Grand Slam, and I said no.
Every match I won in a Grand Slam, I take confidence of that, and when I arrive in a final, I know my game is there.
I'm not the first player to have their home Grand Slam and not perform. There have been a few Australians and French players, you name it. It's a tough thing. But it is one of those things. Would I rather have a Grand Slam in my country than not? I would.
I've been there, done that. I know what the emotions are getting into your first Grand Slam final.
Even when I was a little kid, I always dreamed that I would play Serena in a final of a Grand Slam.
I still think that I'm dreaming. It's a strange feeling. I always try to watch the final of Grand Slams because that's where the best players are playing. ... I never expected to play a final. I never expected to win a Grand Slam. And right now I just did it.
I feel a lot of confidence from that memory, playing final first time in Grand Slam. But also I always think that I could play a little better in a final. I lost straight sets. I didn't do well.
Obviously, to win title, go in Grand Slam semi-final, is always super positive and good.
I am really proud of other things in my career: being in the top five, reaching the final of a grand slam twice. I'm actually even more proud of making it to the French Open final in 2010 than the previous year.
In Grand Slam, you play every two days, five-set match. You have a little bit more time to make mistake.
It's not easy getting to a Grand Slam final.
I got to one Grand Slam final, and that's what you shoot for as a player.
It was a big pleasure to play a Grand Slam match on my birthday.
I won a grand slam with an Audemars Piguet on my wrist, so I feel it is a great match.
Reaching my first grand slam final was amazing, and I didn't expect it at just 19 years old.
But definitely I was in the zone in the match today. I was still thinking it's the final and I knew the emotions. It's a little bit like Fed Cup when I'm playing in the Czech Republic and I feel the crowd. My stomach is a little bit funny - it's just goosebumps. But when I won the first set, I said to myself, 'Okay, I still have to do the same work.' I was worried I couldn't do it for the whole match, but I did it.
