The 31-year-old veteran is competing in her eighth edition of the French Open. Over the years, Collins has adapted to the surface and refined her game on clay. She boasts two titles on the red dirt, one in Palermo and the other in Charleston. She even made a quarter-final appearance at Roland Garros in 2020. Her aggressive flat groundstrokes can surprise opponents even on slower surfaces like clay.

The left-handed Danilovic can pose significant challenges for Collins. The 24-year-old already has a final appearance from this year’s clay court season in Rouen, which will bolster her confidence in Paris as well. Last year, she reached the fourth round before falling to fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova in straight sets.

The Serbian may not be the favourite entering the match, but her heavy topspin forehand and the fact that she has already defeated Collins in Paris before will serve as a substantial morale booster. She is the dark horse in the match, with the potential to cause an upset.

Pick: Olga Danilovic to win in three sets.
