HARRIET DART was involved in a furious row with umpire Paula Vieira Souza after losing her second-round match at Wimbledon.
The British No2 was upset that opponent Jessica Pegula – the richest tennis player in the world – was allowed to make a late challenge to a line call on match point.
The Hawkeye replay went the way of the No8 seed from the USA.
Ultimately it allowed her to complete a thrilling comeback win 4-6 6-3 6-1.
Dart, 25, had her chances in a seesawing match that featured 11 breaks of serve.
She won the first set after letting her early lead slip and then threatened to fight her way back into the second.
