SHARAPOVA INTO 2 ROUND OF THE WIMBLEDON 2015. KONTA OUT

Johanna Konta came to Centre Court on Monday hoping that her rich run of recent form might allow her to catch Maria Sharapova cold. But the steely Russian brought her best game to the first round encounter, defeating the British No 2 6-2 6-2 in an hour and 22 minutes
Sharapova had not played since losing in the fourth round of the French Open, while Konta has reeled off seven victories over world top 100 players since the grass court season started.
