Aryna Sabalenka vs Danielle Collins Prediction

Make no mistake, this will be a big test for Aryna Sabalenka against an unpredictable opponent with the capability of matching the very best, on her day. For starters, the crowd will be right behind Danielle Collins which should give the Floridian a big boost off the bat. She knows what it takes to win this tournament and has that ruthless edge about her that won’t see her afraid to attack Collins with her fast hitting.

Sabalenka though has looked impenetrable so far across the tournament. She dropped just three games in her victory over Viktoriya Tomova before a 6-1 first set win against Elena-Gabriela Ruse led to the Romanian retiring hurt. This will have allowed Sabalenka to conserve her energy, which can only benefit her leading into this one.

As good a player as Collins is in Florida, Sabalenka has been ominously good so far in this competition as she seeks her first title of the year following runner-up finishes at both the Australian Open and Indian Wells. If Sabalenka maintains her recent performance levels, the Belarusian has to be favoured to advance.
