Collins advanced to the semifinals of the San Diego Open after defeating
Caroline Garcia with a score of 6-2, 6-3.
Collins and
Garcia faced each other for the third time, this time at Barnes Stadium in San
Diego. Garcia had previously led their head-to-head encounters 2-0. However,
the American player proved strong on her home turf in San Diego and easily
overcame the second seed.
Garcia had
a solid start in the second round, defeating Sloane Stephens 6-3, 3-6, 1-6. On
the other hand, Collins advanced with victories over Louisa Chirico (7-5, 6-0)
and Jelena Ostapenko (2-6, 6-3, 6-4).
The first
set saw both players holding their initial service games, but then Collins went
on a streak of four consecutive games, showing great precision and securing two
breaks that proved insurmountable for her opponent. Collins took the first set
6-2 in just 25 minutes of play.
In the
second set, the match began with a closely contested first game, in which the
American player secured an early break, giving her a lead that Garcia couldn't
recover from. With both players holding their serves until 5-3, Collins closed
out the match on her second match point, winning 6-2, 6-3 in just one hour and
eight minutes.
With this
result, Collins climbs to world No. 33 and will face the winner of the match
between the 7th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia and the 4th seed Barbora Krejcikova in
the semifinals.
