Jo Konta surged into the semi-finals of the French Open on Tuesday - leaving watching legends lost for words at the quality of her play.

American great Chris Evert - whose 18 Grand Slam wins include seven at the French Open - watched the demolition of compatriot Stephens, in which Konta dropped only one point on serve in the second set.
