Legendary tennis player Jimmy Connors congratulated Danielle Collins after her mesmerizing first-round victory over Naomi Osaka at the 2022 US Open on Tuesday.
Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, was eliminated in the first round for the second straight Major tournament. She lost to Amanda Anisimova in the first round of the French Open in May.
Collins, who advanced to her maiden Major final at the Australian Open in January, once again demonstrated her hard-court ability by defeating the two-time US Open champion 7-6(5) 6-3 in a thrilling contest.
In view of Collins' first-round victory, tennis legend Jimmy Connors took to Twitter to congratulate her. He praised her win and encouraged her to "keep grinding."
"Hey Danielle Collins—way to go- a great win— @USOpen - thanks for the shout out— best to you dad and always give it your “all”— keep grinding —- JC #winner," Connors wrote.
Collins is scheduled to face Spaniard Cristina Busca in the second round.
