Konta said though that this won't stop her pursuit for a Grand Slam title despite not being able to play at Wimbledon in particular.

"I love playing at Wimbledon and it has been my goal to win ever since I was a little girl," said Konta in Hello! magazine.

"I feel sad that I won't be competing this year, but it hasn't altered my determination to be a Grand Slam champion. I'll never stop striving for that."

"As for the Olympics being postponed, I've put my disappointment aside now," she continued.

"How I feel pales in comparison to the athletes who train for it in a four-year cycle. It must be especially hard for them to have to wait another year.

"Tennis players are in a more fortunate position because we have four big annual events."
