Konta starts with a win in Nottingham

Johanna Konta has beaten American Victoria Duval 6-3 6-0 in the first round of the Nottingham Open.

The British number one is seeded second for the grasscourt event, behind the Czech Republic's Karolina Pliskova.

Konta was beaten by German Julia Goerges in the first round of the French Open but has risen to a best-ever ranking of 20.

The 25-year-old will play either fellow Briton Freya Christie or China's Zheng Saisai in the next round.

Konta's fellow Brits Heather Watson, Laura Robson and Naomi Broady are also all in the first-round draw, as is former world number one Caroline Wozniacki.
