@Einars Dubrovskis shut up with your stupid excuses no one agrees with you... still butthurt about your kontaveit losing to swiatek?

[@bryanchee4542]

@Einars Dubrovskis Collins has endometriosis and has rheumatoid arthritis and she’s been playing matches after matches with no coach nor any physiotherapist... it’s normal to get injured and considering how noisy Collins is during her matches, she barely grunted or yelled any Come On’s which was evident enough to prove that she’s not feeling the same way as per usual so u need to stop being bias and be neutral and not come up with stupid excuses

[@Cristina-cm1yr]

Colllins just won back to back titles so that is a lot of tennis…and the fact she has chronic RA… after seeing her get a medical time out…I can see her retiring to get ready for the US Open. NBO is a 1000 level tourney…so I think she prob hate to retire from this tourney.

[@anujbeatles]

I'm so sad I missed this match, but great job with the highlights, WTA! Would request maybe an extra minute of players' emotions as well, that we get to see in between points, more so in Collins' matches and players like her - Kenin, Andreescu, Serena, Sakkari, Sabalenka - to name a few. It adds so much to the experience. And also, please upgrade the quality of these videos to 1080p or higher. We've been stuck at 720p (not even HD) for a few years now.

Really enjoyed that. Dani is playing such high level, her backhand in particular is so, so strong. And what I like is there was very little of the "come OOOOON" we used to see. All business now, which I love. Also, towards the end of the match, it was Simo who was making all the noises, and Dani was quiet throughout. Liking the new and improved DC. Good luck.

[@roybaty4785]

Her come on never bothered me personally, the screamers on every point like Sabalenka and Riske bother me much more. Halep was unusually quiet this match until the final set.

Halep knew she played well there hence the fist pump after she'd lost and walked to the net. I reckon that's what Collins said to her as well. Collins just had the confidence of so many wins lately, which kept up her belief.

[@roysantiago9131]

Halep’s Serve keeps killing her in all her matches. Look at her against Serena in AO 21. She needs to do something about that. We shouldn’t be seeing 80MPH first serves.

[@Rune8119]

But she washed Serena two and two on her best surface with the same serve. So in my opinion,even though I’m far from being a fan, she’s doing pretty good 😊

[@vladyalex1]

[@falks941]

I think fans and players are getting a bit too sensitive about players taking MTOs at this point. A lot of people have bad blood from the situations where players have clearly used an MTO to disrupt the rhythm of their opponent (like Ostapenko at Wimbledon, Ruse in Palermo or Yastremska at the Thai Open), but it becomes ridiculous when it is assumed that EVERY instance of a MTO is fake. It's like everyone is just waiting to pounce on anyone who takes a MTO at this point. Collins has played an awful lot of tennis in the past few weeks and it's a miracle that her body is in as good a condition as it is following 11 match wins. Given her rheumatoid arthritis, she is bound to have picked up at least minor injuries in that time. She requested an MTO two games before she got it, at which point she had no idea whether she'd be ahead or behind in the score in the final set. Maybe the rule needs to change, but Halep's comments following the match are nothing more than sour, especially given the amount of interaction she had with her team in the stands during the match. Halep didn't lose because of the MTO. She lost because Collins was better than her.

[@p3tr02oo6]

Why did she took MTO when Simona made break. The pain is there no matter what game you play. Why she didn't took it when it was even ? Let's be serious here. Collins did won because she played better on that day but I wish she was more fair player. I'm curious who is gonna win when Simona is fully back on her game.

[@AshutoshSingh-sp4jq]

That handshake at the end is everything that stands for sportsmanship. And Danielle is proving to be a contender for US Open. And she does have the game to take it all the way. I think she should take a break in her lead upto the last grand Slam of the season. And as for Simona she still looks rusty. She still hasn't recovered from her injury completely. I am sure at the end Danielle must have said something encouraging to Halep.
