Danielle Collins Claims First WTA 1000 Title with Victory at Miami Open

American tennis player Danielle Collins secured her first WTA 1000 title at the Miami Open by defeating fourth seed Elena Rybakina in straight sets, with scores of 7-5, 6-3. This victory, Collins’ third career title and her first since 2021 comes as she plans to retire at the end of the 2024 season.

Playing in her home state of Florida, Collins expressed gratitude for the support from the crowd, describing it as a special moment. The match saw a tight opening set with Collins ultimately gaining the early advantage. Despite a brief resurgence from Rybakina in the second set, Collins capitalized on her opportunities to clinch the title.

This win elevates Collins to a world ranking of 22nd. Her decision to retire is influenced by her struggle with endometriosis, a condition she underwent surgery for in 2021.
