Dart was convinced a ball landed out in the second set of the Nottingham Open match against Boulter, and she offered umpire Kelly Rask a wager.
Harriet Dart offered to bet the umpire £50,000 she was right about a disputed line call in her ill-tempered defeat to British team-mate Katie Boulter at the Nottingham Open.
Dart, back in the world’s top 100, was unhappy with the line judging throughout but first lost her temper midway through the second set. After losing the replayed point she then placed the ball down on the ground and said: “It was here, no joke, everyone here knows it.”Rask replied: “Harriet, stop now or you’re going to get a code , I’ve had enough now. That’s it.”
Dart vented at the umpire: “I’ve got a reason to call the referee, because of the calling, I’d like them to watch. If we watch that back I can promise you, I would back £50,000 that ball is out, I’d shake your hand now. It’s a joke how far that was out.”
