palling, they were nowhere near good enough. They had 11 international players playing but they just didnt apply themselves properly.What do you think? Do you agree with the

British No. 1?Johanna Konta will not allow her philosophy on life to be compromised by her position in the race for the end-of-season finals in Singapore.Konta has had a superb 2016 so far, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open, the fourth round of the US Open, winning her first WTA Tour event and surging up the rankings, and that sees her 10th in the race, with the top eight reaching the showpiece tournament next month.A good run at the Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open this week followed by more success in Beijing next week could see her surpass Madison Keys and Carla Suarez Navarro on the leaderboard and become the first British women to qualify for the tournament since Virgina Wade in 1980.However, throughout her rise towards the top of the womens game over the last 12 months the 24-year-old has never spoken about her goals in a results-related manner.And with such an achievement in the landscape of womens British tennis within touching distance, Konta is not about to change her way now.(The race) is not something that I am actively thinking about, it is a result of something else, she told the Press Association.As long as I focus on the matches I am playing at the time, the here and the now, I will give myself the best chance of competing there.If it is in the cards for me, it is in the cards for me, if its not then its not. I am just really happy to be where I am at this stage of the season, I am in good physical shape and we will just see where that takes me.It wouldnt be a productive thing for me to be thinking about because it isnt part of my philosophy of how I work and train on a daily basis.If I veer off that I find myself in a thought process that I dont want to be in. I am always very conscientiousness and vigilant in how I keep my mind and what thought processes I have.It would be a great achievement but a lot can still happen. If it happens it happens, if it doesnt it doesnt.I dont want to put myself in a position where I would be disappointed if I didnt make it. I can still finish the year and say, You know what I still did really well. It might not be enough to make Singapore but I dont want that to take anything away. Its my process of working, its how I live, its how I do things in my career.I do have goals, they are not results-orientated, they are not ranking targets they are personal goals. They are knowing that whatever happens on the court I have the ability to handle it. There is a lot thrown at you on court at this level.It was in Wuhan last year where Konta made people sit up and notice by building on her surprise run to the US Open fourth round and reaching the quarterfinals.She eventually lost a titanic battle with Venus Williams, who she has since beaten twice this year, and hopes to go deep into the tournament again, with German Annika Beck lying in wait.That match against Venus last year was a highlight, I actually had some very good matches throughout the tournament last year, she added. Thats no indication of how well I will do this year but I am going to enjoy it again and give it my best and see how far that takes me.Whoever I would have drawn here, there are no easy matches. I am looking forward to getting started, I will be going out there and hoping to take care of things at my end and see where that gets me.Wholesale Shoes UK Free Shipping .

Premier League results Arsenal 1-0 Norwich Everton 2-1 Bmouth Man Utd 1-1 Leicester Newcastle 1-0 Palace Stoke 1-1 Sunderland Southampton 4-2 Man City Swansea 3-1 Liverpool Watford 3-2 Aston Villa West Brom 0-3 West Ham Southampton - A+Southampton were absolutely outstanding, and Citys poor display should take nothing away form how good Ronald Koemans men were. City have short-changed fans Manchester City have short-changed supporters this season, says Graeme Souness Newcastle - A Andros Townsend netted a stunning winner against Crystal Palace Newcastle simply had to win this game. When it comes to the end of the season its all about getting results and they dealt with the pressure riding on the game remarkably well.Swansea - AThe Swans have done well under Francesco Guidolin and the victory quite rightly secured their safety in the Premier League for another season. Im delighted for them.Watford - A Troy Deeney won it for Watford with two late goals Watford did ever so well. Troy Deeney got himself in the goals again and he would have loved scoring two late goals against the Villa.West Ham - AThe Hammers have been a revelation this season and they deserve top marks for another assured display. Mark Noble proved his worth again with two well-taken goals. An all-round top performance from Slaven Bilics men.Arsenal - B Arsenals game with Norwich was subjected to a fan protest by disgruntled home supporters With protests taking place in the ground Arsenal managed to come through an awkward game with a victory. They got the job done.Aston Villa - BVilla came so close to getting the victory I wanted them to get but it wasnt to be. It was a gutsy performance that showed slight signs of improvement.Bournemouth - B Marc Pugh equalised for Bournemouth at Goodison Park Eddie Howes men have really played some wonderful football this season both at home and away, and that was the case at Goodison Park, they were just a touch unfortunate not to get something from the game.Crystal Palace - BPalace could have got back into the game at St James Park but were unfortunate to see Yohan Cabaye miss a penalty. It was a spirited display and theyve got to keep on performing in the same manner ahead of the FA Cup final.Everton - B Leiighton Baines celebrates scoring his teams winning goal against Bournemouth Losing eight games at home this season has been tough for Everton so they had to win this game.dddddddddddd. They got the job done against Bournemouth and they deserve credit for that.Leicester - B The Super Sunday panel felt Leicester were fortunate not to have a penalty awarded against them at Old Trafford It wasnt the most glamourous performance from Leicester but they took a step closer to the title with a point that heaps the pressure on Spurs.Norwich - B Norwich failed to convert their bright performance into goals Up to the penalty area Norwich were superb but, unfortunately, they cant score a goal. Nathan Redmond in particular had a couple of chances but they couldnt find a way through and it cost them.Stoke - BMarco Arnautovic put Stoke ahead, I had no problems with the goal as I didnt think Younes Kaboul had been fouled in the build-up. All in all it was a fair result. Defoe earned Sunderland a point with a late penalty at the Britannia Sunderland - BI always fancy Sunderland to get something because of Jermain Defoe and that proved to be the case at the Britannia. Defoe is first class, hes a goalscorer and what hes achieved this season has been phenomenal.Liverpool - CLiverpool made a lot of changes but youd still expect them to go and perform, especially when you consider Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke and Lucas featured.Man Utd - C Anthony Martial capped a bright start for United with the opener at Old Trafford United were fantastic in the first 25 minutes at Old Trafford but Leicester pegged them back and they struggled to replicate their bright start as the game wore on.West Brom - CWest Brom seem to be on a little bit of a holiday at the minute and they were comprehensively beaten at home, which will no doubt disappoint Tony Pulis.Man City - E Manchester City were comprehensively beaten at St Marys City were absolutely appalling, they were nowhere near good enough. They had 11 international players playing but they just didnt apply themselves properly.What do you think? Do you agree with the ratings?
