Iga Swiatek vs Danielle Collins: Prediction

Iga Swiatek

This match is set up to give fans the value for their money! Both the players are high on form and will want to make the most of this opportunity.

Swiatek on her part is yet to win a WTA title outside of her French Open triumph. The youngster admittedly plays her best tennis at the Majors, but she has looked just as sharp in her first couple of matches here.

On the other hand, Collins has been very solid at the baseline throughout the 2021 season. The Pole has to be ready for some fierce hitting. And expect the Pole to counter Collins and cruise through.

Prediction: Swiatek to win in three sets.
