    Konta takes first set 6-4 in Miami final. They kept exchanging breaks, but finally Johanna held hers at the critical moment.

    Been to the shop to buy batteries for my phone, polished the lounge furniture and cleaned my bedroom windows. It's called displacement behaviour. Thank God I missed the penalty....as did Arter.<laugh>

    Konta taken lead in 2nd set, but careless play from both players. Keep calm, Jo.....only 940K at stake.

    Game, set and match - Konta wins Miami Open
    Konta 6-4 6-3 Wozniacki


    She can!

    Jo Konta wins the biggest title of her career. She's the Miami Open champion - the first British women to claim that honour.

    Both players were very polite....you have a break...no, you have a break. Jo just pulled it out of the bag. She will get a lot better....not at her peak yet.

    Just gone one set down in the Davis Cup doubles match v France. GB already 2 down in the singles. Certainly missing Murray and clay doesn't suit us.

    GB lose the doubles 3 sets to 1, so France win the tie 3-0.

    Lights out at 6:30 is bloody early on a Sunday for me <laugh>

    I'm tempted though. Finished nights at 7 this morning and back in at 7 Monday morning <doh>

    Should be a good way of getting my sleeping pattern back on track.

    Checked since. Lights out at 7am... have an extra half hour. We'll be back from paper round at 7:20, so will record and watch when we get in.
