Collins Looking to Make a Deep Run
World No. 48 Danielle Collins of the United States will begin her Hamburg campaign in the second round on Thursday.
The fourth seed, who was out of action for a couple of months this year after undergoing an endometeriosis surgery, is 13-7 in 2021.
The 27-year-old, who was an Australian Open semifinalist in 2019 and a French Open quarterfinalist in 2020, was a semifinalist at the Phillip Island Trophy earlier this year. She also played in the quarterfinals of the Yarra Valley Classic and Adelaide International, where she defeated World No. 1 Ash Barty in the Round of 16. Collins’ last action before the surgery was a second-round defeat to Veronika Kudermetova at the Miami Open.
She made a comeback at Roland Garros, winning her first two rounds against Xiyu Wang and Anhelina Kalinina, before going down to Serena Williams in the third round.
Collins, who was beaten by Karolina Pliskova in the second round of the Australian Open, also reached the second round at Wimbledon by scoring a come-from-behind win over Polona Hercog in the first round. But she couldn’t match her previous best at the Championships, going down to Viktorija Golubic in the Round of 64. (She had reached the third round in 2019).

Kucova Sends Barthel Packing
Facing Collins in the second round will be Slovakia’s Kristina Kucova, who knocked out Germany’s Mona Barthel in the first round on Wednesday.
Kucova broke her opponent three times, and saved four of five break points that she faced to win the contest 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) in an hour and 46 minutes.
The Slovakian, ranked 161st in the world, had defeated Germany’s Stephanie Wagner 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 in the first qualifying round on Monday but lost to Mandy Minella in straight sets on Tuesday. However, she did make the main draw as a lucky loser.
The 2007 U.S. Open girl’s champion, Kucova is 17-13 across competitions this year. A 2016 Canadian Open semifinalist, the 31-year-old’s best performance this year was a run to the second round of the Miami Open, where she came through the qualifiers and then defeated Hailey Baptiste in the first round before falling to Ash Barty in the next. She also reached the second round at Monterrey.
