"The winning favor is in her favor. When you play that many close matches and play some of your best tennis but lose, you learn a lot."
"Swiatek went 5-0 down in the opening set before managing to get on board. The second set was level at 4-4 before Collins won."
Defending champion Iga Swiatek was eliminated from the Italian Open by American Danielle Collins, losing 6-1, 7-5 in the round of 32. Swiatek, who had a dominant head-to-head record against Collins, struggled significantly, falling to 0-5 in the first set.
