Harriet Dart defeated Peyton Stearns 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 — US Open 2026 R128.
Harriet Dart and Peyton Stearns are level at 1–1 across 2 recorded meetings.
A 71 percent favorite with the betting market, Stearns is out of the US Open in the opening round, beaten by a qualifier ranked 131st. She out-hit Dart 39 winners to 23 and lost anyway, undone by 46 unforced errors and 33 percent won behind the second serve against Dart's 49. The 30-year-old Londoner broke in game 7 for 5-2 in the decider and still needed several looks to close it, Stearns saving three match points across 2h 23m. That ends a five-match losing run for Dart, one that had included a Cincinnati defeat to this same opponent a fortnight ago — the only prior meeting on record.
