choinski was committing too many unforced errors and he soon lost the second set by six games to 3.k back to make a fight of it winning the third set by seven games to five. british number three harriet dart is in action later against chloe paquet of france. we caught up with our tennis correspondent russell fuller ahead of that match, and he told us the omens are good for dart heading into this one. well, the good knees for harriet dart, she is actually played chloe, and she's won three of the four matches. a very good year for harriet dart, she had that win against katie bolter, the second out of wimbledon was basically disappointed though to throw a very promising position in the final set of her third round match there, but she often does, she bounced back well. she generally seems to be full of confidence, she's been coached by her mother because her actual coach doesn't travel and her mum who has quite a tennis history herself is a schoolteacher so she is certainly available for the first week of the us open. there might be a conflict of interest in week number two as the scho
