Johanna Konta: British number one to play hat-trick of pre-Wimbledon tournaments

British number one Johanna Konta will play in a hat-trick of pre-Wimbledon tournaments as she looks to build on a memorable 2017 campaign.

The 26-year-old is set to compete at June's Nottingham Open, Birmingham Classic, and Eastbourne International.

Last year, she became the first British woman to reach a Wimbledon semi-final since Virginia Wade in 1979, reaching a career high world ranking of four.

"Nothing compares to competing at home," said world number 11 Konta.

"I know there will be a really strong player field at Nottingham, Birmingham and Eastbourne and I'll face some tough opponents in competitive matches.
