Danielle Collins is coming in playing great tennis. She won her first career title a couple of weeks ago in Palermo. She had no problem transitioning to hard courts, scoring a convincing first-round win over Shelby Rogers in straight sets.

It has been a pretty consistent season for the American so far, she has reached at least the quarterfinals in six of the 10 events she has played, accumulating a 23-9 win-loss record. She battled past Elena Rybakina in the quarter-final in a straight-set victory that must have felt like a 3 setter. Both the sets went to tiebreaks and Collins won both of them 7-6(5) and 7-6(4) respectively.
