Johanna Konta records an impressive straight-sets win over defending champion Donna Vekic to reach the final of the Nottingham Open.

Johanna Konta has progressed through to the Nottingham Open final with an impressive win over Donna Vekic.

The two players featured in last year's final with Vekic prevailing in three sets, but Konta dropped just five games on Saturday evening to win 6-2 6-3.

The contest was split due to a rain delay, with the British number one taking the opening set before the two players were taken off court.

Vekic improved upon their return but Konta broke serve in the fifth game and did not look back as she earned another spot in the final in the East Midlands.

Konta will now face top seed Ashleigh Barty, with the Australian defeating Naomi Osaka earlier on Saturday.
