Third seed Dart, who has recently slipped out of the world’s top 100, defeated Australian wildcard Lizette Cabrera 6-2 7-6 (7-5) in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
Watson claimed a hard-fought 7-5 6-7 (14-16) 6-2 victory against Lola Radivojevic of Serbia.<\/p>\n

Dart is up against another Australian in Taylah Preston in the next round, while Watson will take on American veteran Varvara Lepchenko.<\/p>\n
