Johanna Konta became the first British woman to reach the French Open last 16 since 1983 after thrashing Slovakia's Viktoria Kuzmova at Roland Garros. In 1983 it was Anne Hobbs and Jo Durie who did with Jo Durie reaching the semi finals.

Konta, 28, continued her fine clay-court season with a 6-2 6-1 late-evening victory on the new Court Simonne-Mathieu.

Despite suffering sickness this week, the 26th seed broke serve five times to seal an impressive win in 54 minutes.

Konta will play Croatia's 24th seed Donna Vekic on Sunday.
