Rock and pop stars tweet tributes to Konta

British celebrities and famous types from around the globe have descended on the All England Club for some fetching, grass-court tennis.

While some human bastions of stage, screen and sport have given good face in the seats, others have regarded the action from some distance, weighing in with kudos to their favored players on Twitter.

Enter Johanna Konta, the pride of U2, Mick Jagger, Van Morrison, Ellie Goulding, Darcey Bussell and Olly Murs.

That's a short-list who's who of British and Irish pop, rock and dance—no slouchers there. What's more, it seems Konta has an open invitation to rock out with a few fine folks, which she's accepting:

While Konta fell in her first Wimbledon semifinal appearance, dropping a straight-sets match to 37-year-old Venus Williams, the 26-year-old Brit may very well be back for more top-shelf fanfare such as this. Don't be surprised–and if she fares a step or two better at SW19 in the future, don't be shocked if her work reaps a tribute song.
