This is an intriguing match-up: Kenin has the greater grand slam pedigree but Collins dominates the head-to-head. While Kenin is the tougher competitor, Collins is the harder hitter. Collins makes the more comfortable start here, holding to love before forcing Kenin to deuce. It’s 1-1.
Next up it’s the all-American affair between Danielle Collins and Sofia Kenin, this year’s Australian Open champion. If Kenin is to set up a semi-final against Kvitova she’ll have to do something she’s never done before – win a set against Collins. They’ve played three times before, twice in 2017 on the ITF circuit and then earlier this year in Adelaide when Collins blasted her off the court. Kenin hasn’t won more than seven games in any of their previous meetings.
