Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki has said that Great Britain's Johanna Konta has a bright future in tennis.
The 24-year-old defeated world number nine Garbine Muguruza on the way to reaching the fourth round at the US Open earlier this month.
"Konta has obviously improved a great deal this year, which is great for British tennis," Wozniacki told reporters. "She has a strong serve and a big forehand and, like Andy Murray, has a good team behind her. She's certainly on the right path.
"It's difficult to say how far Konta will go as no-one really knows her game yet," added Wozniacki, speaking in Singapore ahead of the Formula One Grand Prix as a guest of the Singapore Tourism Board.
"The top players haven't had a chance to analyse her game yet, her strengths and weaknesses. It's so hard to get to the top of the game and to stay there. But if she works hard and keeps her focus I'm sure she will do well."
Konta rose to 58th in the world after her performance at the US Open.
