Elina Svitolina fights back to deny Johanna Konta at Elite Trophy

Johanna Konta misses out on a place in the Elite Trophy final after suffering a three-set defeat to Elina Svitolina.

Elina Svitolina has overturned a one-set deficit to defeat Johanna Konta in the semi-finals of the Elite Trophy in Zhuzai.

Konta had impressed during the round-robin stage where she eased past Samantha Stosur and Caroline Garcia, but she fell to a 2-6 6-1 6-4 defeat to the Ukrainian.

The British number one recorded two breaks of serve during a dominant opener but Svitolina stormed back in the second to take the contest into a decider.

Konta broke for a third time in the match, but she could not discourage Svitolina behind her own serve and the fourth seed emerged victorious in one hour and 40 minutes.

Svitolina will face Petra Kvitova in Sunday's final.
