Britain's fifth ranked women's tennis player, and Wimbledon wildcard entry, Harriet Dart's first round exit to seventh seed Karolina Pliskova wasn't as short as many predicted, and the 21-year-old made the Czech star work hard for her win.And perhaps, as snapped by a Daily Mail photographer, the inspiring notes given to Dart before she stepped onto the court to face the powerful Pliskova may have had something to do with the Brit's resilience and dogged determination.The notes were focused on approach, tactics and how to vary her play.All sound advice. The last part - three words - was inspirational, and you could see it in the determination of the novice Londoner's approach.It seemed like a 'I may not win, but I'll not make it easy for you' tactic. And it worked.The words were simple. "Believe!! Commit!! Grunt!!"The expression 'plucky Brit' has often been used to describe an unsuccessful endeavour, but Dart's focus and determination was admirable.Ranked 171 in the WTA Women's rankings, some 163 places below Pliskova's eighth ranking, she took heart from the words and took the game to the Czech.Eventually, experience, power and guile won the day for Pliskova, defeating the Brit 7-6, 2-6, 6-1.But, the first set went with serve and was only decided on a tie-break. Dart bounced right back and took the second set emphatically, breaking Pliskova's serve three times to secure a comprehensive 6-2 set win. However, that experience and world ranking of eight saw the 6' 1", 26-year-old prevail in the deciding set 6-1.Words and self-belief can only get you so far. Experience counts for much, and a bit of luck thrown in for good measure.But Dart will be wiser and smarter after her first round exit. She will hopefully have realised that the margins at this level aren't so great, and that a bit more fine tuning and focus will see her prevail.

She'll know that the early rounds are also the best opportunities to upset a seeded adversary.

She will also probably reflect on what she could have done better and what it will take to win.

She has speed and power and varied her game well enough. 

The experience will have added another degree of mental toughness and that's probably the greatest take-away from her first Wimbledon experience.

If Dart has the opportunity again, and based on her showing in the first two sets, there's no reason to doubt that she'll be back, an additional word could be added to her note. 

Believe!! Commit!! Grunt!! Win!!
