Signed, sealed, delivered 📦 Danielle Collins storms into her second #AusOpen semifinal with an emphatic 7-5 6-0 win over Alize Cornet. #AO2022 🎥: @wwos · @espn · #Eurosport · @wowowtennis
Three years after reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal, Danielle Collins has returned to the final four at the Australian Open.
The American overpowered Alize Cornet in a 7-5 6-1 victory, using her impressive and powerful groundstrokes to dictate play and dominate her French opponent. Collins won an astounding 28 of 31 points behind her first serve, hitting five aces while minimizing the double faults.
The San Jose champion raced to a 5-3 lead to start the match, but was unable to serve out the set as Cornet fought back to level the score at 5-5. Nonetheless, Collins was able to outlast her opponent and prevent a tiebreak, closing out the first set after an hour.
Perhaps exhausted after an intense first set, Cornet offered little resistance in the second as Collins raced to a 5-0 lead. The French veteran was able to salvage a game, before the big-hitting American served out the match after an hour and 28 minutes.
This will be Collins' second appearance at the semifinals of the Australian Open, and the World No.30 will face the winner between Iga Swiatek and Kaia Kanepi.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
