I've seen the video of Harriet, and to be honest, I'm not sure I can support her anymore. It's truly embarrassing behaviour.

Not cool. She should, and hopefully will be, embarassed when she calms down, but this kind of behaviour keeps happening!

That is an outrageous thing to say, really terrible - even if it has some truth, you don't and can't say it. Wow, Harriet.

You can bet if she had been winning she wouldnt have said it.

She needs to apologise, IMO.

That's quite a brutal score! Harriet told the umpire, "can you tell her to wear deodorant because she smells really bad?" - that's such a gross comment to make. Disappointed.

That's a disgraceful thing to say. Always support British players but I'm finding it more and more difficult to support her in matches.

Agreed. And it isn't the first time she has behaved so poorly. This is school playground bullying type comments, and I don't support that.

She needs to apologise.

And quite childish. Which strikes me as being, petulant, boorish.

Surely merits an LTA sanction even if not a WTA one.

Really unpleasant and, frankly, a bit unhinged.

Jose Morgado has picked it up on X as well

I've always thought of Harriet as being petulant - right back from when I saw her playing ITF's as a teenager ten years ago.

The way this is kind of on brand for Dart is not good. I dont want to turn this into a character assassination so i will just say I am not a fan lol

Said it before and say it again, she is childish and immature ( at 28yo! )

Needs to get out more!!

Also, the cameras have just picked out JB and labeled him as Sonay's coach. Please, please confirm that it's only this week !
