Konta withdraws from Eastbourne tennis semis due to injury

British tennis player Johanna Konta withdrew from the semi-finals of the Eastbourne tournament due to an injury, where she was scheduled to play against Czech Karolina Pliskova on Friday.

Konta, World No.7, suffered a fall during her match against Germany's Angelique Kerber, World No.1, and after being treated on the court she managed to win the match 6-3, 6-4.

Pliskova, World No.3, now moves straight to the Eastbourne final, which she is set to play against the winner of the match between British Heather Watson and Danish Caroline Wozniacki, World No.6.
