World No.42 Talia Gibson has continued her recent run of good form, beating Britain’s Harriet Dart in straight sets at the Japan Open.<\/p>\n

The Australian 22-year-old, the fourth seed at the WTA 250-level hardcourt event in Osaka, was pushed all the way by the 84th-ranked Brit, before winning 7-5 7-6 (8-6) on Monday.<\/p>\n

In a match littered with nine service breaks, Gibson held her nerve to finish off her 30-year-old opponent in the second-set tiebreak.<\/p>\n

It’s been an up-and-down fortnight for Gibson, who had a runner-up finish at the recent Singapore Open, before losing her first match at last week’s China Open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gibson lost her maiden WTA Tour final last month to Canadian Leylah Fernandez in Singapore.<\/p>\n
