HARRIET DART kept her bid to qualify for the Australian Open on track but fellow Britons Gabriella Taylor and Naomi Broady fell by the wayside.

Dart, the British No 4, battled past Chloe Paquet of France in three sets to move within two wins of the main draw.

Having taken the first set, things looked bleak for 22-year-old Dart when she lost the second and dropped serve in the opening game of the third.
