Professional career
2018
Dart began playing at ITF events where she beat Freya Christie, Laura Pigossi, Nastja Kolar, Conny Perrin before she reached the final of an ITF event in Germany and beat Karolína Muchová to win her first 2018 title. She reached another final in Japan but lost to Veronika Kudermetova. In Eastbourne, she won against Kristýna Plíšková before losing to then-top 10, Anastasija Sevastova. In Wimbledon, she lost her first match against former world No. 1, Karolina Plíšková, although taking a set off Plíšková and forcing a tiebreak in the first set. At an ITF event in Norway, she won another title; Paula Badosa retired in the final.
2019: Wimbledon 3rd round, Australian and US Open debuts
At the Australian Open, she lost to Maria Sharapova in the first round without winning a single game. On 30 March, Dart and her doubles partner Lesley Kerkhove won the final of the Open de Seine-et-Marne against Sarah Beth Grey and Eden Silva. At the Wimbledon Championships, Dart beat both Christina McHale and Beatriz Haddad Maia, progressing to the third round where she lost to Ashleigh Barty only winning two games. In August, Dart qualified for the US Open for the first time in her career; she lost in the first round to Ana Bogdan, in straight sets.
2021: Wimbledon mixed doubles final
At the 2021 Wimbledon Championships Dart reached her first Grand Slam final making the mixed doubles decider alongside partner Joe Salisbury where they lost to Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk 2-6, 6-7.
2022: WTA 1000 fourth round, top 100
Dart made a significant breakthrough at Indian Wells. Having come through qualifying, she reached the last 16, including a win over Elina Svitolina, her first win over a top 20 player before losing to Madison Keys. The points she gained took her into the top 100 of the rankings for the first time. After a lack of success on clay, Dart entered the Nottingham Open where she defeated Donna Vekić and Camila Giorgi before she lost her first WTA event quarterfinal to Alison Riske. She then entered the Birmingham Classic and defeated Camila Osorio, before losing to Simona Halep. At the Eastbourne International, she beat Madison Brengle, Jil Teichmann and Marta Kostyuk, before losing to Petra Kvitová in the quarterfinal. On 25 July, she rose to No. 84 in the WTA rankings, her highest ever position. At the US Open, she secured her first top-10 win, beating Daria Kasatkina in the first round in three sets. She exited the tournament in the second round, losing to Dalma Gálfi in straight sets.
2023: Back to back quarterfinals and national team success
In June 2023, Dart reached successive WTA Tour quarterfinals with runs to the last eight at the grass-court events in Nottingham, where she lost to eventual champion Katie Boulter, and Birmingham, when it was Anastasia Potapova who ended her challenge. However, she could not continue her good form on the lawns of Wimbledon later that month as she went out in the first round of her home Grand Slam losing 7–6, 0–6, 4–6 to Diane Parry. In November 2023, Dart secured the winning point for Great Britain in their 3–1 Billie Jean King Cup play-off victory against Sweden at the Copper Box Arena in London with a 7–5, 6–2 win over Caijsa Hennemann, after being brought into the team as a late replacement for Jodie Burrage.
2024: First WTA semifinal
Dart returned to the world's top 100, after reaching her first WTA singles semifinal at the 2024 Transylvania Open defeating Anna Bondár, fifth seed Elisabetta Cocciaretto, and Nuria Párrizas Díaz, before bowing out against eventual champion Karolína Plíšková. At the same event, she also made the doubles final with partner Tereza Mihalíková.
In April, Dart was selected to play for Great Britain against France in 2024 Billie Jean King Cup qualifying round, but was not required to play as Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter won the three matches required to qualify for the finals. Dart then won two rounds in qualifying for the Madrid Open to reach the main draw.
