ranked outside the top 100 ended last season actually ranked 140 in the world so it's been a a good advancement yeah good stuff and IM mention like kind the players and Harriet D is one of those who does have works with Harriet as her agent and lback who's the physio of Diana Schneider yeah well [Applause] done game what you better fight for it few in that first match on cord here today as well conditions a little different maybe the ball flying a little further but as I said third match on these courts yeah well played with more power was a good return but second shot rally and it's gone long oh just the wrong side of the line and it will go to juice Advantage start D two first serves out of nine so far there in Li is the problem for Harriet Dart a lot of spin on that ball on the return to set up a first break point here for schneid at the start of the match it's so important that Harriet Dart makes a good start and you can hear the frustration that she's feeling [Applause] here out py love well no problems and has improved a surf it's one of the reasons why she's been able to get into and stay the top 100 it's still not the biggest weapon on tour by any means and another double fault there that's he would feel it his place to interfere and say something great return and again not for the first time good return and follows up paulley oh brilliant there's that forand Unleashed power drive down the line so a chance here for Schneider and didn't get over the top of it and you can see the frustration for haret D Harriet Dart frustrated with herself very much here l wind picking up again he may be able to tell on our effects microphone had a few things blowing over earlier again just getting a timing wrong to evident Fury here 43 H little gift game so that's unfortunate quite the accuracy young Rising Star oh super return three break points here for a 5-1 two break lead oh lovely play Cut the sidelines beautifully with a well disguised cross called forehand and a very good recovery probably three of four B have hit the target needs more accuracy on that another quality return turn off a very good first serve deep almost a body serve but just sorted a footwork out quickly enough so having recovered from love 40 Harriet D has a 13 one again it involves had Jay has been involved in a few over the years hasn't she only just starting the final set oh it's good break points for Harriet D coming up here 15 and the error is forced with a good deep return to take the break so get to one of the breaks back here we say m wrapped up a 6361 win over qualifier KY [Music] volet serving for the opening set right now just occasionally let's well the frustration mounts for Harriet Dart yeah very well played from Harriet Dart there one that came almost right at her feet but still got a really quality shot in oh that's class from Harriet d game starts well that's ambitious got a physio wither here this week you got a glimpse of him there Sebastian laach see Heavy strapping on that knee has been for a while she knew as soon as should hit that it was long I think we all did 14 1 so another set point oh wow number well recovered well the next call excellent point di Schneider showing the sort of form that's Tak ranked outside the top 100 in the world now ranked 24 in the world fting to go high Serv is just she did this once before yeah it's going wide oh it's not think the wind brought that back in looked like it was having lost that first set could he afford to lose serve here that's better from Schneider [Music] the Four Hands working perfectly now 14 15 only at the end of the 2022 season that she managed to break into the top 200 the Bandana's become a trademark really hasn't it she has warned ever since childhood days out [Applause] game Scher only played her ended up losing to palosa it's good from Harriet D that's beautiful they're not at this venue in Montreal in 21 that's good so she avoids further damage gets her first 153 back in 2018 in Oslo I only mentioned that because in the final should be palosa in this match first point Sav nicely one and Har Dart does make the break with that's superb brilliant play from dark finding in qualifying she's already guaranteed herself a few more points on the rankings oh that's unfortunate for her isn't it Schneider with a huge Stroke of Luck har D the live rankings is up to 74 now which would be a new career high and where she to win this one would move inside the top 70 feeling a best throughout the match Town Zone was already a break a setup as well good from Schneider including the qualifying rounds even though she was eliminated there as a lucky loser going have 10 places in the rankings it's close isn't it automated calling of course here that's astonishing what a shot from that position but then soon the point was going away from her Oham [Applause] 14 yeah wrong footed it nicely done is more remarkable is how Harry atart has cut out the unforced Era 16 in the first set for her just two in this set so far now chances well I was just thinking Harriet Dart with good defense there two break points for a 5-3 lead and she doesn't even need to lift her racket Harriet Dart to assure herself of that lead that time Schneider has been ruthless against this second serve oh D back her old ways I'm afraid two doubles at this in the huge point now oh good serve been a lovely plus one had a lot of time to think about that comparatively it's over on court one as they reached the three-hour Mark now hadaj meire could not finish that game and it's 5 all now and she sered for the match D coming back well with two very yeah too weak on the serve too timid no messing about from Schneider this time and she will have a break [Applause] point second serve again unable to convert the point break point 15 a few self-doubts a little bit off a best today but we kind of did expect that sorry to labor the point but transatlantic flight changed from the clay courts to here and the momentum swing continues points 15 well that's quality and sets at two has saved 11 break points so far Harriet dart out of 14 12 out of 15 now second break point oh the mistake from Harriet Dart and the hard set by the look of it 51 second set for the Canadian 15 154 well Strang has been broken once and now faces more break points oh so much spin on that second serve it was a good classy winner down the line on the back hand from Harriet Dart to snatch the still yeah brilliant don't just let a move inside onto the forehand and probably 40 [Music] oh well play that was very tough a lot of space from there between herself and the net also probably looking into the sun yeah picked out of the sky very well good timing again laying it up on the for hand if you're playing it there it has to be with more depth more width but right there well played Harriet Dart yeah she knew when she played that block return but needed to be not yet it's three over on cour four that was good defense and just hoping that making Schneider hit one [Applause] bravely went cross on the back point of view already eight in this set 39 in the match opposed to 25 from harri d oh unlucky well judged drop shot jeffan Wong won't be easy for her just a little bit harder offers a hand so another point for 33 100 five WTA finals four of them at 250 level and above plus the one in Paris at 125 and four titles 14 40 three in a decider but it is another and cavalo's microphone has stopped working I think another unforced eror from [Applause] [Applause] Schneider oh well played be a love game can't can afford to conceed that point mind you I dare say n of them are traveling cattle class like me too many errors it's getting to the stage now where any mistake could be crucial isn't it it's the dreaded ninth game in the third [Music] yeah difficult it was very L it was much B wow not the time for that second of this set got decent depth haret Dart but it s up you see how she's desperate to get it on the not entic too many supporters into this court today this match but it's their loss it's turning into a really intriguing battle understandable as a Canadian with Schneider in the doubles in the Paris Olympics 14 15 I think game so the mistake from Schneider again wow what a great hit that was fantastic stuff from Harriet D 184 [Music] so oh she run and run but Schneider was just too good for it again first break point save credit to both players not giving up on the point Schneider [Music] oh that's a bad Miss break back points 65 well Schneider do it again Great Character to break straight back Harriet's not finished yet I mentioned that final set tie break against Katy Bolter that Harriet won at Wimbledon she hasn't played a tie break since oh wow G beforehand it was a little short for short
