Dart admits she needs to seize key moments in matches after US Open exit
Harriet Dart, of Britain, returns a shot to Marta Kostyuk, of Ukraine, during the second round of the U.S. Open tennis championships, August 28, 2024, in New York
HARRIET DART knows she needs to improve in key moments after a nightmare first-set tiebreak in her second-round defeat against Marta Kostyuk at the US Open.
Britain’s Dart, who had already served for the opener twice, squandered five set points against the Ukrainian 19th seed – three of them on her serve.
Kostyuk had already missed three of her own in a marathon tiebreak but took her fourth opportunity and then ran away with it to seal a 7-6 (10) 6-1 victory in a match which saw the temperature hit 38°C.
