Picture of the day
Dart misses the bullseye
Harriet Dart will have nightmares about the first-set tiebreak in her defeat against Marta Kostyuk as she went out in the second round of the US Open.
Dart, who had already served for the opener twice, squandered five set points against the Ukrainian 19th seed, three of them on her serve.
Kostyuk had already missed three of her own in a marathon tiebreak but took her fourth opportunity to lead the match and soon ran away with it.

Evans beat Karen Khachanov in five hours and 33 minutes, the longest match in US Open history, and he said afterwards he was “hurting all over”. He takes on Argentinian Mariano Navone.
Katie Boulter is up against Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro while Jack Draper meets Facundo Diaz Acosta, with both Brits confident of progressing.
