Serena Williams vs Danielle Rose Collins : Preview
Serena Williams continues her run in her chase for her 4th French Open title which will be her record breaking 24th Grand Slam. She reaches the third round after a crunchy 2nd round match winning 6-3, 5-7, 6-1 after having registered a straight-set win in the first match.
Serena had not made a good start on Clay this season, but has definitely found her groove showing her mental strength and powerful shots during her 2nd match after losing the 2nd set.
Danielle Rose Collins who is making her Clay debut of the season at the French Open 2021 has made good start to the competition. She looked a bit rusty in the 1st match needing the 3rd set to overcome her opponent. However, in the 2nd match she looked solid dropping a bagel in the 1st set and winning the match in straight-sets 6-0, 6-2.
This is just the 2nd time Collins reaches the 3rd round at the Roland Garros, with her best so far in 4 appearances coming in the 2020 French Open where she reached the quarter-finals.
Serena Williams vs Danielle Rose Collins : Head to Head
This will be the second meeting between the two Americans who last met at the Yarra Valley Classic 2021 with Serena winning the match 6-2, 4-6, 10-6 in an extended 3rd set. Serena leads the head-to-head tie 1-0.
Serena Williams vs Danielle Rose Collins : Prediction
Serena looked tired in the 3rd set of the game and was looking for aces and power shots instead of toying in rallies. Collins would be looking to exploit that as she would come well rested into the game. Serena however showed her class and nearly dropped a bagel in the 3rd set showing even if tired, she is still the champion.
Prediction: Serena Williams to win in 3-sets in the 3rd round of the French Open 2021
