Taking on Danielle Collins, who was competing in the second week of the tournament for the first time in her career, Sabalenka bounced back from a tough opening ...

It was the second spirited comeback of the Open for Sabalenka. “I would say it was the key game,” she said. Collins, who hadn’t lost a set in this tournament until Monday night, was struggling a bit on her serve at that point. However, Sabalenka channeled her strength more effectively in the middle set — especially after botching what should’ve been a guaranteed opening point in the second game, which she eventually dropped partially due to two blistering aces from Collins. Collins played a tighter and smarter game at first, jumping out to a 4-1 lead before ultimately securing the set in just over 40 minutes. Sabalenka will now face Karolina Pliskova, who is known as the Ace Queen, in her second career quarterfinal appearance on Wednesday.
