Danielle Collins vs. Aryna Sabalenka | 2024 Rome Semifinal | WTA Match Highlights

[@royalhorror]

I love that Sabalenka and iga are proving why they are the top 2 !!

[@alexandrenabais6053]

but they are not...Screamolenka is not a top 2 player in the world...She's not a top player. She just screams and hits the ball hard...there is a bunch of other top 30 players that are actually better than her, but because of injuries they just don't have the points...WTA rankings don't mean anything, just like the ATP rankings...

It shows how well the top players are doing now and there's less randomness and inconsistency like there was from about 2016 through ~ 2021.

[@sherwincumberbatch8933]

Excuse me! When did Sabalenka discover the drop shot. I’ve been talking about how Gauff’s game is growing in this tournament but I am just as impressed how Sabalenka is using more in her arsenal compared to the US Open. I look forward to seeing her in this Final and RG.

[@Andrew-cp7mc]

I am liking this version of Sabalenka with the drop shot - makes her game more interesting and could give her the edge over Swiatek in the final.

[@deusexmachina9776]

using the drop shot was so overdue, she is a former doubles number 1

[@serbianbeast1733]

Collins, with her high intensity and high power game, is used to having opponents on the run, Saba gave her a taste of her own medicine. Not a huge fan of the Belarusian, but her level of play and the intensity she brings every point is phenomenal. If anyone can beat Iga on clay, it's Sabalenka.

[@kevinjmartin1444]

Rybakina beat Iga on clay at stuttgart; indoor tournament and Roland garros can be hot at times, but Ryba can definitely do it too!

[@kevinlakeman5043]

Wondering who is gonna be the Murray or Wawrinka in this current group. Not seeing it yet w/ Pegula, Sakkari, Jabeurs, or Ostapenko. Holding on Gauff, Qinwen Zheng, and Vondrousova.

[@Pshemscoslav]

If we add there Coco Gauff, and I think she deserves it, we have big 4. Nice to see some competitive rivalry between the top players

[@Tied348]

Osaka looks like she's getting back to her old form. She could shake things up for sure

[@butjay11]

Elena is #4, dismissing Gauff's accomplishments is so rude. I don't understand why she receives so much hate and criticism for being #3. Granted we know she has double-faulted more this year than ever before but she has proven that she belongs at the top more than others who can't get themselves in the top 10 and have won championships but can't beat #1 or 2. Gauff has beaten both #1 and 2 but she's still being crucified and it's disturbing and unfair.

[@nikkostaana]

I don’t like the screaming but love that Sabalenka’s game has evolved. I always love players who try to improve themselves and not just rely on their strengths. We all know Sabalenka has power but learning dropshots and trying to play at net is refreshing.

[@haroldlipschitz9301]

Drop shots are always a good move on clay, especially if opponent is used to staying back because you hit deep

[@mindywong3839]

A lot of eople have grown to like sabalenka. Me too. She may be loud on court but is a lovely person with hardly any drama on court. Another thrilling nail-biting final otw.

I would however add that she needs to change the game plan : the hard & low drives are not bothering Aryna enough .. I would try to go with more looping, heavy topspin shots and the low deep slices to make sure the rythm changes more. But Sabalenka is certainly not an easy challenge to solve.

Another fine match between Sabalenka & Collins. This is to be expected- the better player should win. But credit to Collins for another stellar performance this year.

Hoping for another classic.

Was really looking forward to this match, because DC has been in great form (19/1 coming into this I believe). Interesting to see how Aryna played; she's really adding the short game to her bag of tricks. Hitting such HEAVY ground strokes, opens up for the drop shot, and she's really exploiting that well. Solid tactics against DC. I do wonder how that will go against Iga though. This will be another match I'm looking forward to. May the best player win!

[@kennethokocha203]

With the impeccable way Danielle Collins has been playing since she won the Miami Open, I believe it's only Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina can beat her. Not even Coco Gauff. Now that Sabalenka has beaten Collins twice in Madrid and Rome masters on clay in the span of two weeks, her chances of winning her first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros before her impending retirement at the end of the year looks herculean. I'm rooting for the 30-year-old American in Paris.

[@Bhavyo]

The courts in Rome look super fast, as if they have very less clay on the surface. Looks fast as in Madrid and a lot faster than Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Estoril. The courts beeing that fast leads to Sabalenka having a good chance vs. Swiatek. Swiatek still the favorite, but its maybe a 60:40. Since Paris is usually a lot slower, Sabalenka will have more problems having same sucess as in Madrid and Rome.
