King: Konta can be queen in US
BILLIE JEAN KING predicts Jo Konta will “do a lot of damage” at the US Open starting next week.
And the American legend claimed the crushing Wimbledon semi-final defeat by Venus Williams could be the “turning point” in her career.
King said: “I think she is going to do a lot of damage. She is on the cusp of winning big. She knows it.
“That Wimbledon defeat could be a springboard for the future. That match, even though she lost, could be a turning point.”
