Konta says she will experience knee issues for the rest of her career

Johanna Konta has been unlucky with injuries and the 30-year old announced she will be dealing with them for the rest of her career.

Johanna Konta pulled out of two warm-up events ahead of Wimbledon due to a knee issue and the 30-year old Brit admitted that she will deal with it for the rest of her career. Konta played an amazing week of tennis in Nottingham earlier winning the title but she had to withdraw from the next two events.

Konta is experiencing tendon issues in her right knee which she will need to manage for the rest of her career. She said:

"I think at the beginning I didn't really acknowledge that there was something going on. It took way too long on my behalf to address it properly and by that time it was a significant thing. Tendon issues, they're not simple, they don't follow any specific blueprint on rest, recovery, rehabilitation and then you're back good to go, it's basically just management."

Despite the issues Konta is having a positive outlook on the whole thing saying:

"It's the first time I've ever experienced anything like that. Knock on wood, I have been very lucky, I haven't had any sort of injury which has needed surgery intervention or anything that has been very brutal that has properly kept me off court. This has been one of those things that I've had to train through and look to manage. It's something I've had to get used to."
