Through to the quarterfinals at this week’s Rogers Cup in Montréal, British No.1 Johanna Konta is closing in on making her WTA Top 10 debut.

Konta will face Kristina Kucova, a qualifier fresh off a surprise win over hometown favorite Eugenie Bouchard Thursday night, in the second night match on Central. Depending on how the day unfolds, Konta could possibly secure a Top 10 spot with a win over Kucova.

But Konta’s climb also depends on Svetlana Kuznetsova, seeded No.9 in Montréal, and her upcoming quarterfinal result against No.5 seed Simona Halep. A look at the scenarios:

• If Kuznetsova loses, Konta can secure a Top 10 spot with a win over Kucova tonight.
• A win by Kuznetsova, would mean Konta must reach the final this week to move into the Top 10.
• Konta would face the winner of Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Madison Keys in the semifinals.

It has been 32 years since the Top 10 included a British woman, when Jo Durie graced the Top 10 (week of August 20, 1984) at No.10 before dropping out following a first round loss at the 1984 US Open.

Only three British woman have found their way to the Top 10: Virginia Wade (career-high of No.2), Sue Barker (career-high of No.3) and Durie (career-high of No.5).

Carla Suárez Navarro and Dominika Cibulkova will both drop out of the Top 10 after Montreal.
