    Italian Open: Defending Champ Iga Swiatek Loses To Danielle Collins In Third Round

    By IANS News May 10, 2025 • 19:48 PM View: 787
    Iga Swiatek: In a stunning third-round upset at the 2025 Internazionali BNL d’Italia, Danielle Collins dispatched defending champion Iga Swiatek 6-1, 7-5 on Rome’s Campo Centrale. The American's aggressive play dismantled Swiatek's rhythm, marking her second win over the World No. 1 in nine meetings.

    Swiatek, who had dominated Rome with a 21-1 record in her previous 22 matches, appeared uncharacteristically subdued. Collins capitalised, delivering 32 winners to Swiatek's 15 and converting six of eight break points. In contrast, Swiatek managed only two breaks from ten opportunities and committed 22 unforced errors as per WTA.

    Collins' victory not only ended Swiatek's impressive run in Rome but also highlighted the American's resurgence in her final professional season. Having announced her intention to retire at year's end, Collins has been in formidable form, securing back-to-back titles in Miami and Charleston and reaching the Rome semifinals. Her performance against Swiatek underscores her determination to conclude her career on a high note.
