The women’s singles final at the Miami Open has begun as Danielle Collins and Elena Rybakina now hold their positions on the court. While the American WTA star has proved to be quite dominant in the ongoing tournament, the whole world views her performance closely, as she has already announced that this would be her last year as a professional player.

As the final kicked off, tennis fans witnessed an amazing setup, with tennis pros of today on the court and the legends holding the mic for an engaging commentary at the Tennis Channel. Collins has proved to be quite dominant in the last week, making everyone curious to dig into the possible reason behind this resilience.

Viewing her recent performance closely, WTA legend Sania Mirza, who is the guest commentator for the match, mentioned, “It feels like she doesn’t have a plan B. She has been unbeatable, you know, the way she’s looking.”

Collins’ lately boosted graph of victory has left fans in awe, creating intrigue about the factors that fuel her dominance. While some point towards her familiarity with Florida, her home state, others speculate that a newfound confidence or favorable climate conditions might be the contributing attributes behind her exceptional performance.

While fans are already aware of her retirement announcement, Collins carries the expectations of thousands of Americans, who wish to bid farewell to her with another title added to her portfolio. As the match continues, it still remains to be seen if she will be able to clinch the victory over Rybakina.

Pet’s presence boosting Danielle Collins’ confidence in Miami

While everyone is coming up with one or the other possible reason behind Danielle Collins’ dominance at the ongoing Miami Open, the revelation she recently made was something that the fans least expected. In a recent press conference, Collins mentioned the fact that the presence of her dog has been boosting her confidence.

“Yeah, I have never made a final of a tournament having my dog here. That has had a positive impact, for sure. I’m learning that my weeks are better with Mr. Q. He’s my son,” she said.

As the tennis star stands just one step behind clinching the title, it still remains to be seen if the collective factors help her do so.
