Player Overview

Player Overview

Harriet Dart, with a career win percentage of 55%, has been on a downward trajectory, reflected in her recent form of 57.1% over the last two years. Her current Elo rating of 2025 suggests she remains a respectable competitor, but inconsistency has clouded her recent outings. Dart’s serve has faltered, evidenced by a low first serve in percentage that hovers around 54.8%, which could prove costly in tight matches.

Dart's recent results reveal a troubling pattern, as she has lost her last two matches, including a straight-sets defeat to H. Klugman. A draw against K. Boulter compounded her struggles, showcasing her difficulty in closing out matches. With a declining form trend reflected in her last five matches, Dart must find a way to turn the tide against Sonmez, as any continuation of her recent performance could lead to another early exit.
