It's been a little under the radar, but Jo Konta has reached the Quarter-Finals of the French Open, having never previously won a match at Roland Garros. She's improving every round, which is great to see after a barren couple of years.

She's currently 5-1 up in the opening set against Sloane Stephens in the opening set too! 

 

EDIT: First set, 6-1.

  • Lineker changed the title to Wimbledon 2019

Back-to-back double faults by Venus Williams hand Coco Gauff the break of serve, with the 15-year-old already a set to the good.

Gauff was born in 2004. Venus already had 4 Grand Slam titles by then!

A huge, huge upset is in the offing here.

It's funny because it used to be quite common for young teenagers to break through to elite level in tennis, but that hasn't been the case for quite a while now. Even with Venus not being the player she once was, this is an amazing achievement in today's era.
