Johanna Konta became the first British woman in a generation to break into the top 10 as she booked her spot in the China Open final on Saturday. After a tight first set, Keys’ serve let her down in the tiebreaker but she rallied in the second despite continued pressure from the Briton. She has gone up another gear this season, becoming the first British woman to reach a Grand Slam semi-final in 33 years at the Australian Open and reaching the quarter finals at the Rio Olympics. The win in the Chinese capital is yet another one for the record books: she will be the first British woman to break into the top 10 since Jo Durie in 1984 when the new rankings are released Monday. And Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic faces off against Grigor Dimitrov -- who downed Rafael Nadal in the quarters -- in the second semi-final meet.
