A sensational point, very good service hold to back the break up. This is where Anne Keothavong will be telling Harriet Dart that there are going to be points in this game where Caroline Garcia will just take the racquet out of her hand.

Dart needs to look after her own serve, imperative Dart keeps her spirits high and hangs tough and keeps asking those questions.

She even throws in a double fault, but smashes her way to the game and she's halfway to winning the set.
