Eastbourne 2018: Johanna Konta sets up Caroline Wozniacki match

British number one Johanna Konta cruised to a 6-1 6-3 win over Aleksandra Krunic in her Nature Valley International opener in Eastbourne.

Konta, 27, produced a dominant display against Krunic of Serbia to seal her progress to the last 16 having been given a bye in the first round.

Konta will now face Danish top seed Caroline Wozniacki.

"I haven't played Caroline in some time so I am looking forward to that battle," Konta told BBC Sport.

"She is a Grand Slam champion this year. I am happy with how I played here, I knew Aleksandra would be difficult to face so I was glad I was able to keep my focus.
