Johanna Konta reaches Nottingham Open final with win over Nina Stojanovic

Britain's Johanna Konta reached her first final for two years by beating Nina Stojanovic at the Nottingham Open.

She will face either Chinese fourth seed Zhang Shuai or American 14th seed Lauren Davis in Sunday's final.

Konta, without back-to-back wins this season until this event, is finding good form at the right time with Wimbledon just over a fortnight away.

But the Briton took the long route to victory, failing to convert a match point at 5-3 in the second before losing that set. She was then also a break up in the third but was pegged back by the Serb before finally claiming victory on a second match point, which came more than an hour after the first one.
