Harriet Dart flew the British flag on a bumper day of action at the Australian Open.
After heavy rain washed out much of the schedule on Monday, most of the first round was completed on Tuesday, but Dart was the only one of five British players to win, the qualifier beating Misaki Doi 2-6 6-4 7-6 (6) in a dramatic encounter.
Johanna Konta, Kyle Edmund, Katie Boulter and Cameron Norrie all lost, as did a despondent Maria Sharapova, who left questions hanging about her future, but Rafael Nadal, Nick Kyrgios, Karolina Pliskova and Simona Halep won.
