British tennis star Harriet Dart embraces "normality" as she chases Wimbledon first

The life of a tennis player can often involve living out of suitcases while travelling the world, and Harriet Dart is grateful that - if only for a few days - that isn't the case.

British star Dart, 26, is based in South-West London. This means the upcoming Wimbledon championships - where she has been drawn against France's Diane Parry in the first round - will only require the shortest of commutes.

Dart will also partner compatriot Heather Watson in the doubles, with the pair beginning their journey against seventh seeds Jelena Ostapenko and Lyudmyla Kichenok. In the singles, though, she has a chance to channel the home support and get beyond the third round for the first time in her career.
