Johanna Konta: Miami Open winner is targeting world number one spot

Britain's Johanna Konta is targeting the world number one ranking after claiming the biggest title of her career at the Miami Open.

The 25-year-old British number one beat Caroline Wozniacki 6-4 6-3 to claim £940,000 in prize money and is set to climb to seventh in the world.

Konta was the world number 146 in June 2015, but she believes a Grand Slam title and further progress is possible.

"The belief has been there since I was a little girl," she said.

"I'd like to be the best player in the world but there's a lot of work to be done between now and then.
