Johanna Konta has been seeded 17 at Wimbledon.

The British No.1 from Eastbourne will be trying to win her first match at the All England Club in five attempts when the championships get under way next week.

Last year she was beaten by Maria Sharapova in the first round on Centre Court.

Her impressive run of form and rise up the rankings to No.18 in the world over the last 12 months will insure a much kinder draw as one of the seeds and a much better chance of ending her Wimbledon hoodoo.

She will find out her first round opponent when the draw is made on Friday.
