    Sabalenka is not there yet is she? You can see and feel it. She can't get through - it's tough, it's difficult and she just can't quite get through to what she is used to with her level. But it is six months since we've seen that level.

    Brilliant from Harriet Dart.

    The last two points she absolutely earned them. When you're trying to get over the line in a key moment like that, fair play to Stearns who made her work for it but Harriet Dart stepped up.

  10. Game and second set - Dartpublished at 17:50 BST 31 August

    Dart 3-6 6-3 0-0 Stearns*

    Peyton Stearns is left to rue her inconsistency as she's taken to a deciding set by Harriet Dart.

    She earns a break point after nailing a pinpoint cross-court backhand pass with Harriet Dart at the net but then sends a loose forehand long. A forehand winner at deuce gives her another chance but she plants a second-serve return into the net.

    British qualifier Dart eventually comes through deuce at the fourth attempt, sticking in a baseline exchange and waiting for the error to earn advantage before converting set point with a forehand winner.

    She lost her opening service game of the second set but recovered with two breaks of her own to clinch it 6-3.
