Britain is guaranteed to have at least one representative in the third round of the women’s singles after Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart, the country’s No 1 and No 2 players respectively, recorded straight-sets victories here on Tuesday to set up the eighth head-to-head of their careers in the second round on Thursday.
Boulter has won the past three meetings between the pair, and six out of seven overall, including a hard-fought three-set match at Nottingham in June.
