It’s a sticky morning just ahead of the start of Wimbledon and Harriet Dart — tennis ace, SW19 golden girl and the Brit currently pipped to overtake an injured Emma Raducanu in the women’s rankings — is doing her best to stay cool, despite the broken air conditioning.
The 26-year-old the British No.4 might not have a US Open win under her belt like Raducanu, 20, but after a decade in the game and her best season yet (reaching the final 16 at all three of the pre-Wimbledon warm-up tournaments in Birmingham, Nottingham and Eastbourne), she certainly relates to a lot of the US Open winner’s comments about the pressures of the tour and online trolling.
