Johanna Konta on retirement, coping with extreme morning sickness, and her advice for Emma Raducanu

Former British female number one Johanna Konta has achieved some major milestones since retiring from tennis at the end of 2021.

Shortly after announcing her departure from the game – with four WTA titles to her name – she tied the knot with husband Jackson Wade, 29, and now the couple are expecting their first child, due in early September.

Swapping a racket for a microphone, Konta, 31, who was born in Australia and relocated to the UK with her parents aged 14, has now joined BBC Sport’s Wimbledon team as a pundit.

We caught up with the mum-to-be at home in Sussex to talk pregnancy, post-retirement plans, and her hopes for the future…

How does it feel being back at Wimbledon as a pundit?

“It is definitely different. When I arrived that first day – obviously, I only know the place as a player, so I had to relearn different areas of the venue from a broadcasting perspective. That was quite funny. I didn’t really know where to go, so I needed a lot of help!”

Does part of you wish you were still on the court?

“I miss parts of it. But no, I’m happy with where I am in life. I’ve got lots to look forward to. So no, I don’t wish I was out there.”

Thoroughly enjoyed my first day working @Wimbledon with @BBCSport and what a match to start with
