Danielle Collins vs Iga Swiatek prediction
Iga Swiatek bounced back from her shock humbling in Madrid with a comprehensive drubbing of wildcard Elisabetta Cocciaretto.
The Pole was ruthless as she hammered the Italian underdog 6-1 6-0 to set up a high-class encounter with Danielle Collins.
The American eased past Elena Gabriela Ruse 6-3 6-3 on her first outing since losing in the last eight on the clay of Charleston.
Swiatek owns the head-to-head 7-1 and has won the last six, although their most recent clash was their only one on clay - at the 2024 Olympic Games - where Collins retired at 1-6 6-2 1-4 down.
The Pole has a 21-2 record in Rome while Collins is defending points from a semi-final push in last year’s tournament.
If Swiatek feels the pressure and gets anxious she could be vulnerable, but it would take a brave person to bet against the defending champion in conditions similar to Roland-Garros.
