Are you getting bored of Konta and her Process?!

What does she say?

The expulsion.
As opposed to the ambition or the hopes. Instead of dreaming about how great it would be to win Wimbledon, for example, she says she just concentrates on the work necessary to get her to that point.

Yes.

She just try her best, no?
I don't know, but the point is that Konta gives this response when she is asked a question about how she feels about her career path. If you don't like predictable answers about "process," blame reporters who ask banal questions about feelings.

Like what? The questions are repetitive, the answers the same. We're talking athletes here.
There's not too many Andy Roddick's out there.

There aren't too many Tomics either.

It's sooooooooooooo strange, right? Reminds me of Bartoli for some reason. Djokovic's bounce action isn't annoying, it just never seems to stop.

Yeah, that's a "process" I could do without. Still, it's 4 bounces each time (I think) so it's predictable. Just ugly.

Apart from there being like 3 instead of 17

Tomic is the hero tennis deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

I reckon there's a whole bunch of players in the WTA top 50 who could learn a thing or two from Konta's approach. She's meticulously built up her game and has a studious attitude towards self-improvement.
She's one of the few players who you can say is maximising their potential on a consistent basis. I wish there were more Jo Kontas in the WTA to be honest. Too many of them seem to have no clear direction and just hope for the best each tournament.

Leave Kontabot alone.
She has a plan, sticks to it, and it works. There are so many flaky players on the WTA Tour that it's actually quite refreshing to see someone different.

Hard work and consistency wins for sure, but I think most peeps prefer to root for someone who oozes talent, takes a few risks and comes off as more free-flowing

For those that say her approach is great, the WTA needs more of it, etc., imagine a world where draws were filllllllled with Jo-bots
I'd quicker use my eyeballs for lollipops

I was about to say. It's bounced from above her head.

Pretty good article on her. In part of it she speaks about her being guarded and sticking to limited answers with the press.

Don't get me wrong, I mightn't admire her extreme meticulousness but I wouldn't mind seeing her grab a Wimbledon 'cause she probably deserves one.
But just one...with the condition that she gets no number 1 spot or periods of domination, otherwise juniors might get the wrong idea and start trying to replicate her 'process' (aaaaaargh!!!)
Not good for the game at all
If anythin, just do a Bartoli and spare us

Is that preventing you from watching their matches? Has it ever--in tennis history--ever prevented anyone from watching a match. If the answer is "no", then the time one takes bouncing the ball can be ignored.

When I read the thread title I thought "the process" was referring to her slow, deliberate and obnoxious ball bouncing technique, but it looks like we're rightfully venting about that anyway, because it's damn annoying, even more so than NoleBounce™ in my opinion.

It's amazing how some people allow little things to annoy them so much. It's almost OCD-like; the inability to just accept not everything is done the exact same way.
The moment someone does something a little bid different: PANIC! I can't handle it! It's winding me up! I can't even look at it! It's obnoxious!
This place is like an exaggerated soap opera at times.

It's a true honour to be able to hear her speak, she always has to play incredibly hard out there, creating her opportunities & is always very fortunate to come through a tough match & there are never any easy matches out there.

It's not as irritating as Nadal's 'nose, ear, nose, ear' routine.
With an unfathomably posh English accent. I've never worked that one out.

She lost any Hungarian pride two generations ago. I never heard her speak and thought she had a cockney Aussie accent, so it's English? She'd sound sophisticated to an American's ears.
