At Wimbledon, Harriet Dart confidently defeated Zhuoxuan Bai to potentially set up a second-round encounter with British number one Katie Boulter. The 27-year-old Dart secured a 6-4, 6-0 victory over China’s Bai on court 18. With Andy Murray opting out of singles following a back operation, Dart is among the 11 Britons competing on Tuesday at Wimbledon.
Dart maintained control throughout the match, not dropping serve against Bai. She broke the 21-year-old in the 10th game to claim the first set, with only a brief rain delay slowing down her progress. Dart’s impressive performance showcases her strength and determination on the court.
Boulter, who is seeded 32nd, will face 2022 semi-finalist Tatjana Maria later in the day. Jack Draper, the country’s top male player, will take on Sweden’s Elias Ymer on Centre Court. Other British players in action include Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Jacob Fearnley, Paul Jubb, Billy Harris, Henry Searle, Fran Jones, and Jan Choinski. The British contingent will be looking to make an impact at one of tennis’s most prestigious tournaments.
