In a challenging match at the US Open, Harriet Dart delivered an error-prone performance, leading to a heartbreaking defeat against Marta Kostyuk, despite showing early promise.
Dart led by a break three times in the first set and created five set points in the tie-break, yet could not convert any of them, marking a critical turning point.
Despite the disappointment of her loss, Dart's performance this season has been encouraging enough to propel her to a career-high ranking in the world’s top 70.
The oppressive heat at Flushing Meadows was palpable, with temperatures soaring to 35C; both players struggled to cope, using ice towels frequently during their match.
