Harriet Dart is one win away from breaking back into the world's top 100 after reaching her first ever WTA Tour singles final at the Guangzhou Open.
The British number produced a gutsy fightback to overcome Chinese wildcard Sun Xinran in a gruelling three-set encounter lasting just under two and a half hours.
It looked bleak early on. Dart had the chance to serve out the opening set but couldn't convert, ultimately dropping it 5-7. The second set was even more fraught - she found herself staring down multiple match points before clawing her way into a tie-break, which she then blitzed 7-1 to force a decider.
What followed was total domination. Dart raced through the final set 6-0, winning 28 of the 41 points played as Sun required medical attention amid physical difficulties.
Dart will face either Lilli Tagger or Kaitlin Quevedo in the final. She has already climbed to 101st in the WTA rankings, and victory on Sunday would push her back inside the top 100 - a landmark that has eluded her in recent months.
