Britain's Harriet Dart overcame Marie Bouzkova in a topsy-turvy match to set up a second-round encounter with top seed Elena Rybakina at Eastbourne.
She will face former Wimbledon champion and world number four Rybakina, who received a bye in the first round, on Wednesday. With the hot sun beaming down on Eastbourne's centre court, it looked like it would be a difficult afternoon for Dart after falling a double break down early on. The world number 37 held sufficiently firm to force a tie-break, and while Dart saved three set points, a wayward forehand handed Bouzkova the set.
