Harriet Dart, the British number three, enjoyed a winning start at The Shrewsbury Club as she eased through to the second round of the Budgen W100 Shrewsbury tournament.
Dart, currently 143 in the world rankings, took just an hour to complete a 6-2, 6-0 victory over French qualifier Nahia Berecoechea in the DMOS People Arena.
“It’s a great event and Dave does such an amazing job here. Each year it gets better and better, and there’s always improvements. “Of course, I would like to win the tournament,” she said. “That’s what I’m here to do, but that’s a long way away. Isabelle Lacy, the other Brit in action as the first round matches were completed yesterday, lost 6-4, 6-1 to top seed Viktorija Golubic. Lacy, 17, had impressively beaten Golubic, 31, on grass at the W100 Ilkley tournament in June.
Elsewhere yesterday, there were first round victories for Australian third seed Olivia Gadecki, who recovered from losing the opening set to get the better of Margaux Rouvroy, to set up a round two meeting against Barbora Palicova.
