Ex-Cav Collins defeats Swiatek

American Danielle Collins defeated world No. 1 Iga Swiatek 6-1, 7-5 to reach the fourth round of the Italian Open on May 11, 2025, in Rome.
Swiatek's poor serving and five consecutive breaks contributed to her defeat and will cause her to lose her world No. 1 ranking after holding it for over three years.
Collins, 31 and the 2022 Australian Open finalist, dominated the match by hitting 32 winners and successfully converting six out of eight opportunities to break her opponent’s serve, sealing the win in one hour and 44 minutes.
Collins reflected on her numerous encounters with Iga, noting that competing in several tight matches and performing at a high level, even when falling short, has been a valuable learning experience.
Collins will face Elina Svitolina in the fourth round, while Swiatek's loss marks a significant downturn ahead of her French Open title defense later this month.
