    *Dart 6-5 Boulter

    Nobody is serving well right now. The windy conditions really aren't helping anyone. Dart slips to 0-30.

    And then it gets worse for the British number two as an umpire correction says a Boulter shot is in, not out. 0-40.

    Dart 5-5 Boulter*

    Katie Boulter completely underhits a drop shot attempt. 0-30 and very sloppy.

    Katie Boulter is still in the first set! Her powerful return flicks off the frame of Harriet Dart's racquet and into the crowd.

    The British number one and number two are treating us to a edgy encounter. There's nothing between these two!

    *Dart 5-4 Boulter

    Katie Bouter saves the first break point but she can't keep out the second, erroring under pressure.

    Another Harriet Dart forehand winner and suddenly it's 15-40. This to put the Briton to within a game of the first set...

  12. Dart holdspublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 10 June

    Dart 4-4 Boulter*

    Harriet Dart gets that crucial hold. She plays a great forehand winner and then levels up with a strong first serve which Katie Boulter can't return.

    One thing I've not yet mentioned is the wind. There were rallies in that game where both players opted not to volley. Neither player looks fully convinced with balls suddenly changing direction mid-flight.

    *Dart 2-3 Boulter

    Harriet Dart is having a bit of a wobble. She hits a forehand long and her shoulders suddenly drop a bit.

    After such a positive start the British number two is now up against it in the opening set. 0-40.

  19. Boulter holdspublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 10 June

    *Dart 2-3 Boulter

    Dart isn't happy. I think she wasn't ready for a Boulter serve at 30-15.

    Boulter aced it and then takes the next point to hold. It means she leads for the first time in this match.

    Dart 2-2 Boulter*
