  "account": "At the US Open, British tennis player Harriet Dart was defeated by Czech player Marie Bouzkova in a grueling match. The 30-year-old qualifier struggled to cope with the sweltering New York heat, which reached 30 degrees Celsius during the game. Dart resorted to using iced neck scarves and cold-air hoses during changeovers to try and keep cool. Despite her best efforts, she was ultimately outclassed by the 25th seed Bouzkova, who won the match 6-2, 6-2 in just 67 minutes. Dart acknowledged her under-the-weather condition, attributing her performance to the heat and lack of air conditioning. She praised her opponent's toughness and clean play, stating that even at her best, she doubts she could have matched Bouzkova's level.",
  "summary": "Harriet Dart wilted in the New York heat as she joined the British exodus from the US Open. Dart followed British number one Katie Boulter out at the second-round stage after a straight-sets defeat by Marie Bouzkova.",
