Caroline Wozniacki v Danielle Collins Head to Head
The head to head between the two players currently stands at 1-1, with Collins getting the last laugh. They met in the Italian Open a few months back where the American overcame Wozniacki in the opener. However, it’s worth mentioning that the Dane retired from the match in second set.
Wozniacki’s injury-stricken Year
Caroline Wozniacki started the season inside the top three but owing to a series of injuries and the subsequent loss in form, she now stands on the verge of exiting the top 20. With a win-loss tally of 14-12, she clearly hasn’t had the best time on the tour, which is disappointing since last year, she was killing it throughout with some brilliant tennis.
The 29-year-old reached the final in Charleston this season – one of her major highlights post which, she went to lose three first-round matches consecutively.
This erratic form has clearly subdued her a great deal, especially when we consider that she has fallen to many underdogs and low-ranked players like Veronika Kudermetova, Iga Swiatek, Alize Cornet, Ekaterina Alexandrova, among others.
In her opening match here, she faced Yafan Wang and survived a minor scare. Losing the first set, she gathered her thoughts and staged a comeback to win the match 1-6, 7-5, 6-3.
The China Open champion has bagged only one win in her last two outings and will be hoping to improve that record here at the Flushing Meadows through the week. As a two-time runner-up here, she is more than familiar with the courts and action.
Collins, a Formidable Opponent
Collins is one of the many entertaining players who always brings a lot of energy when she steps on the court. But at the same time, she has the pure, raw talent that needs to be improved and honed into something with more finesse and efficiency.
The 25-year-old has already impressed the spectators by reaching the semifinal in the Australian Open this year, where she knocked out Caroline Garcia, Angelique Kerber, and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Her ferocity has clearly taken her quite the way, but the lack of form, consistency, and skill is yet to be fully solved.
Following that run in Melbourne, Collins moved on to lose in the early rounds in a majority of tournaments. Her current strike rate stands at 19-15 – marginally better than Wozniacki’s.
As for her run in New York, it started on a shaky note as well, with a three-set win over Polona Hercog.
Wozniacki v Collins Predictions & Tips
This won’t be an easy match for Wozniacki. She is quite vulnerable and Collins, having already proven that she can take on and defeat big names, will pose a definite threat. On her part, she will need to keep a cool head and play this game with maturity and finesse while Wozniacki will have to dig deeper into her roots. All in all, we have an interesting, entertaining fixture in our hands!
