Danielle Collins v Linda Fruhvirtova Head to Head
Collins and Fruhvirtova faced each other earlier this year in Dubai, where the Czech player won in two sets. However, Collins has greatly improved since then and should pose a bigger threat to the young star at the US Open.

Collins Sees Hardcourt Success
Danielle Collins’s 2023 hardcourt match record of 15-12 does not tell the full story of the American’s form going into the US Open.
She is 6-3 in matches in the latter half of this year, losing to world number 1, Iga Swiatek, and Washington Open semifinalist Liudmila Samsonova. She was a quarterfinalist in Montreal, beating noteworthy players such as world number 8, Maria Sakkari, and Wimbledon semifinalist Elina Svitolina.
With her aggressive approach and strong hitting, Collins will be looking to overcome Fruhvirtova in their matchup this week.
Hardcourt has been Collins’s best surface by far especially this year, having made 2 quarterfinals in Adelaide and Montreal, and a semifinal in Austin. The American has gone far on the surface in her career, having made the Australian Open semifinals and finals in 2019 and 2022, respectively.
With the passionate American crowd behind her and great match experience with top players going into the US Open, Collins should have the upper hand in this match.

Fruhvirtova Struggling in the Latter Half of 2023
Linda Fruhvirtova has beaten significant players on hardcourt such as Elise Mertens, who was her first top 25 win, and Marketa Vondrousova, who she beat to make the 4th around at the 2023 Australian Open.
Though she has achieved great success on the surface at the beginning of the year in Australia, she has struggled since, with a current hardcourt record of 6-10 and an overall 11-19 record in 2023.
Making the 4th round in the first slam played is not a feat many players can say they have achieved. However, in recent results, Fruhvirtova has struggled to replicate her success, currently on a 4-match-losing streak on hardcourt.
That being said, her experience having played against hard hitters such as Jelena Ostapenko, Caroline Garcia and Danielle Collins will give her confidence in terms of reading her opponent.
Though Fruhvirtova will be looking to gain another win against Collins, it will not be easy.
Collins v Fruhvirtova Prediction and Tip
Danielle Collins will be looking to even out her record against the young Czech and has the advantage in various aspects from form to the American crowd. However, the teenager will not go down without a fight and will use her experience to force errors on her opponent. Still, the American is a heavy favorite in the match and should get by with a straightforward win.
