"After losing to Swiatek so many times, you obviously learn from those experiences." The 31-year-old Collins relied on her explosive style of play, forcing eight break points and winning six times, defeating a Top 10 player for the first time in more than a year, and also rewriting the battle record to 2-7, "Although she has beaten me in the last few encounters, I played at my best in those games, which gave me confidence and learning from them." Collins advanced to the round of 16 of the WTA 1,000-point clay tournament, where she will face Ukraine's Svitolina next.

Swiatek has experienced multiple blows such as a change of coach, a short suspension of the banned drug turmoil, and the loss of the world ball, and has fallen into a long low ebb, and has not reached the final so far this season, especially Roma, who has won the championship three times since 2021, has become famous and hastily eliminated, and the previous Madrid semi-finals defeat to the American rising star Gauff have made her 4-time French Open champion and 3 consecutive dominants, and the title defense market has suffered a major blow.
