You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

Recorded Johanna Konta said elsewhere, not written here
When I was a young girl in Sydney, I used to go running with my dad. I would wake him up at the crack of dawn and we had this route to the top of a golf course – we’d usually make it there for sunrise.

Question What do you consider your greatest achievement? Craft & work
Being happy. I think that transcends the results of my matches, the so-called successes or failures. How would you like to be remembered? As someone who dedicated their life to what they were doing at the time. Right now, it’s tennis, but I want to have the same dedication for whatever I do after, whether it be motherhood or another career.
