Johanna Konta lost to Marketa Vondrousova on Friday in the French Open semifinals. In a press conference, the British player said: "I don't know how many unforced errors I hit. I actually didn't think I was hitting the ball flatter. The conditions out there were quite tricky. My opponent also makes things tricky out there. She's a tricky player. That's what she does well. I just thought I tried to do the best that I could with the conditions and with my opponent. And, yeah, that's what I did. It's always tough to lose a match, any match. It's also tough to lose matches where you do have opportunities, you do have chances. However, I feel very, very comfortable and very assured in the fact that I did do the best that I can, the best that I could out there. To be honest, yeah, I mean, it's hard to lose any match like this, but, yeah, no, I think my opponent played really well. I'm proud of how I tried to find a way out there. I'm proud of how I tried to work the points, how I tried to play out there against her. It just didn't go my way."

Konta also commented on the women's semifinals being scheduled on the Suzanne Lenglen: "I think the way it looks probably speaks for itself more than anything. So I don't really have much else to say on it. The court that we played on is a beautiful court, no doubt about it. I played my third round on there. So it's nice to be on a nice court. However, yeah, I think the way it looks probably speaks for itself. Then I have a job to do. I have a job to get on with it and to go out there on the court and give my best performance. That's where I put my energy into. From my understanding, the schedule was released without the approval of multiple parties, so that's all I understand from it. Yeah, I mean, people are put in positions to make certain decisions but that's nothing to do with me. I'm here to play."
