BRITISH number one Johanna Konta got the taste for victory again as she began 2018 with an impressive win over Madison Keys at the Brisbane International today.

Konta had a dreadful end to the 2017 season, not winning since August and suffering from injury, but she put that right on the opening day of the new year with a come-from-behind 4-6 6-4 6-3 success over Keys.

It was the toughest first-round draw possible for Konta against a player ranked 19th in the world and she lost the first set by dropping her serve at 4-5.
