HARRIET DART moved to within one win of qualifying for the Australian Open today, but Heather Watson’s hopes ended after a bright start.
Dart came through 6-7 (6) 6-1 6-2 after dropping a see-saw first set to Australian teenager Taylah Preston in Melbourne.
Dart lost her opening service game to trail 3-0, but broke back to level and took advantage of two double faults to break again for a 5-4 lead – starting a run of four straight breaks up to a tie-break.
