Cincinnati Open: Johanna Konta knocked out in first round by Muchova

British number one Johanna Konta was beaten 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 by Karolina Muchova in the first round of the Cincinnati open.

Konta, 30, won the first set in an assured start before rain interrupted the second set in Ohio.

After the resumption, Czech Muchova, 24, claimed the second set in a close tie-break.

The world number 23 took the deciding set and will face former U.S. open champion Bianca Andreescu in round two.

Konta has had a troubled season, with no back-to-back wins and long injury breaks before she won the Nottingham open this summer, her first title since winning the Miami open in 2017.
