So what happened yesterday, you ask?

Well, Harriet produced a shock victory over Liudmila Samsonova to brighten the skies on a Queen’s day marred by rain delays.

Dart, on her debut, beat world No. 33 Luidmila Samsonova 5-7 6-4 6-3 on the opening day of the tournament.

The British No. 5 needed over six hours in total, however, after the start of play was delayed by two hours.

They eventually took to the court, only to play just one point before being hauled off by the umpire.

Olympic champion Qinweng Zheng, playing Jaqueline Cristian on Andy Murray Arena, lasted eight minutes before the tournament was suspended.

Three hours then passed before they were allowed to resume. Zheng suffered a surprise 6-4 7-6 defeat.

But Katie Boulter is left in limbo after her match with Leylah Fernandez was stopped in the second set due to a lack of light. They will return today to finish the tie.
