Danielle Collins’ winning streak continues unabated as she triumphs in Madrid opener.
After claiming back-to-back titles in Miami and Charleston, Danielle Collins has extended her remarkable winning streak to 14 matches with a hard-fought victory over Serbian qualifier Olga Danilovic in her opening match at the Madrid Open.
Collins, who has now won on three different surfaces during her streak, battled back from a set and a break down to defeat Danilovic 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (8) on Friday. The American has now won 28 of her last 30 sets, a testament to her exceptional form.
Danilovic managed to snatch a rare set from Collins, but the American’s resilience and determination proved too much to overcome. Collins has only dropped two sets since losing the first set of her Miami opener to Bernarda Pera.
The last player to defeat Collins was world number one Iga Swiatek in the second round of Indian Wells. Since then, Collins has been unstoppable, showcasing her all-court prowess and unwavering focus.
