(Reuters) - Britain's Johanna Konta said she might have to deal with a knee issue for the rest of her career after not paying attention to the injury early on.

After winning this month's Nottingham Open, Konta was forced to pull out of Wimbledon tune-up events in Birmingham and Eastbourne because of a tendon issue in her right knee.
