In November, 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.

Despite the defeat, Dart moved into the top 70 in the Women's Tennis Association rankings.
