Collins Stuns Swiatek with Straight-Sets Victory at Italian Open

Posted : 10 May 2025

Danielle Collins pulled off a dominant straight-set victory over defending champion Iga Swiatek in the third round of the Italian Open. Collins capitalized on Swiatek’s inconsistent serving, taking the first set comfortably before recovering from a break down in the second to claim a 6-1, 7-5 win.

 

 This victory marked just her second in nine matches against the five-time Grand Slam champion, and her first-ever win on clay, Swiatek’s preferred surface.

 

The match was a difficult one for Swiatek, who has struggled with her form leading into the Rome event. The world number two got off to a poor start, committing multiple double faults during her first two service games, eventually losing her third service game to love. After being broken four times in the opening set, Swiatek only managed to claim one game, as Collins raced to a 6-1 first set in just 24 minutes.

 

Swiatek showed some resilience in the second set by breaking Collins in the opening game. However, she could not hold onto the break, as Collins continued to apply pressure. With the set tied at 5-5, Collins broke Swiatek for the sixth time in the match, sealing the victory with her second match point as Swiatek missed a backhand wide. Collins now advances to face Elina Svitolina in the fourth round.

 

Swiatek, who has won the Italian Open three times in the past four years, will need to regroup before the upcoming French Open, set to begin on May 25. Other notable results included Italian Jasmine Paolini defeating Ons Jabeur and Madison Keys, the fifth seed, being eliminated by fellow American Peyton Stearns. Meanwhile, Elina Svitolina moved on to the next round after a hard-fought win over Hailey Baptiste.
