- Danielle Collins secured a straight-sets win over Iga Swiatek, a three-time champion at the Italian Open, in their third-round match at the 2025 tournament in Rome on May 9.

- At 31 and seeded 29th, Collins credited her parents' support and her perseverance for her late-career successes, and said, "I can enjoy some more time on tour."
- Swiatek’s early departure marked her earliest defeat at a major WTA tournament in nearly four years, leaving her roughly two weeks to regain her competitive edge ahead of the French Open, which begins on May 25.
