However, Wozniacki beat the American at the US Open the same year to again take the lead in the head-to-head record.

Collins, for her part in the Games, advanced on Sunday after Germany’s Laura Siegemund retired from their first-round match with the score at 6-3, 2-0. Wozniacki and Collins will clash on Monday (July 29th).
