THE PREDICTION

World number 15 Danielle Collins was in control of a competitive match with Anna Blinkova before her opponent was forced to retire injured in the second set on Friday. The 30-year-old finally saw her incredible 14-match winning streak snapped in three sets by eventual runner-up Aryna Sabalenka at the Madrid Open last week but she looks ready to get back on the horse here in Rome.

World number 23 Caroline Garcia has lost each of their four previous encounters in straight sets, including in the quarter-finals of the Miami Open back in March as Collins steamrollered her way to the title, but she should not be underestimated in these conditions. A straight-sets victory over home hopeful Elisabetta Cocciaretto was a solid result in Rome and it remains to be seen how she matches up with Collins on clay, with each of those four meetings coming on hardcourts. Back Collins to win outright.

TIP: DANIELLE COLLINS TO WIN
