‘It was a battle’ – Alison Riske advances to Nottingham Open semis after beating Dart
Alison Riske advanced to the semi-finals of the Nottingham Open after winning 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 win against Harriet Dart, as the duo came face-to-face for the first time. Sixth-seed Riske progressed to the quarters following straight-set wins over Daria Snigur and Caroline Garcia respectively. Ad/> Dart’s path to the last eight was arguably even more impressive after overcoming former champion Donna Vekic in straight sets ahead of a superb display against world no.26 Camila Giorgi.
