Johanna Konta produced a sensational comeback against Simona Halep to become the first female British player to reach the Wimbledon semifinals since Virginia Wade in 1978.

Konta looked nervous in the opening set on Tuesday (UK time) and saw it go Halep's way in a tiebreak, but the sixth seed came storming back to seal a 6-7 (2-7), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 win in front of a delighted Centre Court.
Halep — still without a major title to her name — would have become the new world No. 1 had she claimed the victory, but it was Konta who ended a 39-year wait for home representation in the last four of the women's singles at SW19.
