Harriet Dart faces a battle with top seed Elena Rybakina, ranked fourth in the world, with a quarter-final spot at stake.Harriet Dart is relishing taking on 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina after battling through a marathon first-round encounter at the LTA’s Rothesay International Eastbourne.
She said: “It was an incredible match with some ups and downs and the court is fresh and different to the courts I’ve practised on. “Elena is an incredible champion and she’s a really hard ball-striker, so hopefully we can have a fun match.”Dart fell just short of the quarter-finals at the Rothesay Classic Birmingham last week, losing out to 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova in the last 16, while she was beaten by compatriot Katie Boulter at the LTA’s Rothesay Open Nottingham.
