The Czech world number seven did not drop a single service game as she secured the third clay title of her career and her first in Rome in one hour 25 minutes.British number one Konta claimed some big scalps on her way to the final, beating Grand Slam winners Sloane Stephens and Venus Williams as well as Madrid Open champion Kiki Bertens.
The result means Pliskova will be the number two seed at the French Open later this month as she will move to second place in the world rankings on Monday. "I think there will be a chance for me if I play this way but there’s going to be some tough opponents who are playing good tennis on clay." Pliskova missed a break point in Konta's opening service game of the second set but eventually broke the 28-year-old at 3-3 before holding serve to secure victory.
