Brisbane International: Britain's Harriet Dart wins to reach second round

British number four Harriet Dart came from behind to beat Australian wildcard Priscilla Hon and reach the second round of the Brisbane International.

The 22-year-old, who progressed from the qualifying rounds, won 1-6 6-3 6-4.

Dart will play Latvian eighth seed Anastasija Sevastova or Australia's Daria Gavrilova next.

"I'm really pleased to get the win. Priscilla played really good and it took me a while to get out of the blocks," Dart said.

"Everyone is fighting for every point so I had to keep doing what I was doing."

Dart started the year ranked 307th in the world but will end it in 149th, having won ITF titles in Altenkirchen and Oslo.
