British tennis player Harriet Dart won a thrilling last 16 clash against the No 3 seed at the Nottingham Open with a 5-7, 6-4, 7-6(3) win. The 25-year-old beat Camila Giorgi to progress to her first WTA quarter-final where she will face America's Alison Riske.
Both players split the first two sets on Wednesday before the match was called off for the day due to rain. After further delays on Thursday due to the poor weather, the players resumed what would turn into a highly contested set.
Dart was forced to save three match points as the match moved towards its conclusion but the Brit hung on to take the match into a tie-break. She then raised her level and committed fewer unforced errors than her opponent to seal a memorable win.
