THE PREDICTION

World number 22 Danielle Collins beat Elise Mertens in straight sets on Friday to make it a remarkable 10 wins on the spin on tour. The 30-year-old announced that 2024 would be her last season as a tennis professional and she has played with aggressive liberation since, thrilling home support en-route to her biggest title yet in Miami last weekend and clearly hungry for more in Charleston.

World number seven Maria Sakkari has enjoyed a similar resurgence after splitting with long-term coach Tom Hill. Now under David Witt, the 28-year-old finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek at Indian Wells before a solid run to the quarter-finals in Miami was ended by eventual runner-up Elena Rybakina – who of course lost to Collins in impressive straight sets. The American beat Sakkari in straight sets at the Canada Masters last August but she meets a much-improved version of the Greek, who leads their head-to-head 2-1, here. Collins has earned at least a set from all three of their matches so far so back her to do the same here to avoid a result in this likely thriller.

TIP: DANIELLE COLLINS TO WIN A SET
