Several colleagues of Danielle Collins congratulated her on her title at the 2024 Charleston Open, including Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Victoria Azarenka. The world No. 15 secured her second consecutive title by dominating Daria Kasatkina (No. 11) with a score of 6-2, 6-1 in the final.

The American extends her winning streak to 13 consecutive victories, including her first WTA 1000 title at the Miami Open a week ago. Collins once again claimed the WTA 500 Charleston title, with wins over top players: Paula Badosa, Ons Jabeur, Sloane Stephens, Elis Mertens, and Maria Sakkari.
