Johanna Konta of Great Britain upset top-seeded Simona Halep 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 to advance to the quarter-finals of the Wuhan Open in China on Wednesday (30th September).

Script:

World number two Simona Halep took to the court at the Wuhan Open in China to take on Johanna Konta.

It's been a breakthrough few months Konta

After leaving the grass court season ranked outside the Top 100, the Briton won a string of titles on the ITF Circuit and then, as a qualifier, made it all the way to the fourth round of the U.S. Open.

The Brit raced through the first set taking it 6-3.

But the Romanian struck back, winning seven of eight games from 4-3 ahead in the second set to take that second set, 6-3, and build a 5-1 lead in the third, seemingly on her way to a runaway success.

Halep never sealed the deal, however, and Konta started ripping her huge groundstrokes into the corners again, reeling off the last six games in a row to finish off the improbable upset in style, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5.

An incredible comeback- to make it the quarter finals.
