Dart 1-6 6-5 Garcia*
Too good from Harriet Dart. She whips a forehand down the line to hold Caroline Garcia to love and it looks like we are going the distance in this set.
She fist pumps towards the crowd to try and get that momentum going. She's oozing confidence in this set.

It has been quality tennis from both players in this set. The speed of this court is medium-fast, who will buckle first?
*Dart 1-6 5-5 Garcia
To answer my earlier question, no. Harriet Dart can't challenge that serve.
It's another ridiculously good service game from Caroline Garcia to once again hold Harriet Dart to love.

"Harriet Dart, she'll win it in three..."
"I believeeeee. I believe we will win! I believe we will win!!"
The Cov crowd haven't given up on Harriet Dart yet - and Britain's leading player still looks like she believes she can turn this match around.

Harriet Dart has dug in in the big moments and fought really hard. She always feels she can beat the best in the business.

We've only had one tie-break-less set across the two days of the Billie Jean King Cup in Coventry but it looks like we could be heading for one here.
Harriet Dart nails the forehand to hold to 15.
Can she challenge Garcia's serve to level things up?
*Dart 1-6 4-4 Garcia
Harriet Dart is struggling to counter what Caroline Garcia is bringing to the table in her service games.
Another hold to love passes Dart by as Garcia's serve continues to punish.
She has only dropped two points on serve all set.

If you remember the match yesterday with Dart, we saw six breaks of serves in the first set and in the second set she wasn't broken. It's the same story today.
I'm sure Julien Benneteau will not be evoking any level of panic and will be waiting for their opportunity to pounce.
There's no reason to panic for Garcia, she has dropped two points off her own serve in this set and that's it so she hasn't been put under any pressure.

Can Harriet Dart put a bit of pressure on Caroline Garcia's service game to find an all-important breakthrough in this set?
Dart 1-6 4-3 Garcia*
The difference between Harriet Dart in the first and second sets has been phenomenal.
Some stunning serving from the Brit as she holds to love and Dart continues to set the pace in this second set after seven games.
*Dart 1-6 3-3 Garcia
Some huge serving from Caroline Garcia to hold Harriet Dart to love.
Will either player manage to find a crucial break in this set?
That game has certainly silenced the crowd a little.

Great anticipation skill from the Brit. Garcia is not changing her tactics on the first or second serve so Dart can get herself ready.
A really good hold for Dart and this is a different feeling to the match.
Dart 1-6 3-2 Garcia*
First double fault of the set goes to Harriet Dart.
It looked like almost the perfect service game from the Brit before Caroline Garcia whipped a stunning return then Dart double-faulted for deuce.
Dart fired a stunning forehand of her own across the court for an important hold.
*Dart 1-6 2-2 Garcia
Peter Odgers
BBC Sport commentator
Garcia's serving percentage was up and down yesterday. Just as Dart was applying some pressure she throws that pressure right back on the other side of the net.
*Dart 1-6 2-2 Garcia
And that's what Caroline Garcia can do.
No messing around from the Frenchwoman as she holds Harriet Dart to love.
Dart 1-6 2-1 Garcia*
Whatever Anne Keothavong said at the break between sets seems to have had the desired effect.
Harriet Dart has come out much more aggressive and nails her first serve to hold Caroline Garcia to 15.
Dart has some scoreboard pressure for the first time in this match.

Listen to the noise. Tactically astute from Dart going into the forehand and it draws the error.
*Dart 1-6 1-1 Garcia
Harriet Dart comes out on top in a rally with a lovely shot forcing Caroline Garcia off balance for 15-15.
She levels things up again with some smart play for 30-30 but sails a shot out of court for Garcia to hold to 30.

Remember the giant cardboard faces of the British players which I told you about yesterday?
One is perched in the stand where Dart is serving now.
Must be rather unnerving to see a super-sized you staring back.

A solid start from Harriet Dart to hold her serve. Calm, composed. Better from Dart.
