Her plans for the next few days are to "eat and sleep. And then repeat." Seems fair.
"It was mentally, emotionally, physically - I left it all out here on court," she says. "I feel fortunate that I was able to capitalise on opportunities and close it out in the end."
Jo Konta is beaming. "Three hours, four minutes - those four minutes count. Goodness gracious."

Konta 4-6 6-4 8-6 Makarova: Magnificent first serve from Jo Konta! That's game, set and match to the British number one, and she thoroughly deserves that - what a gutsy effort.
Konta 4-6 6-4 7-6 Makarova: Now then, Jo Konta gets a second chance to serve this out. Makarova's service game is suddenly riddled with flaws.

Konta 4-6 6-4 6-6 Makarova: So we continue. These two are working so hard after three hours of the match.
