Harriet Dart

Current form
In Osaka, Dart started with a difficult victory in three sets over Siegemund (3-6, 7-5, 7-5). The British tennis player showed character, and in the third set she worked more reliably on her serve, which brought her success. It should be noted that before this, Harriet had withdrawn due to an injury in Wuhan. Judging by the fact that she endured a difficult match with Siegemund, which lasted three hours, her health problems are behind her.
