HARRIET DART'S weeping time-out proved a turning point and left Battle of Britain rival Katie Boulter nursing the bitter "sting" of tears.
In a marathon 2hrs 56mins needle match on a gusty No.1 Court, Boulter's hopes were gone with the wind among her 75 unforced errors.
And although Dart's 62mph second serve which floats over the net with the venom of powdering your nose in the spa was there for the taking, she hung on for her first win against Boulter in six years.
At 6-2 down in the decisive match tie-break Dart, ranked No.100 in the world, sank to her haunches at the back of the court and appeared to be in tears at the prospect of defeat.
