Australian Open 2024 [Women] - Grand Slam

Huge and tough hold for Collins there.

Dont right off Iga she nearly broke back lol!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If Collins gets another break of serve it will be all over Red Rover for Iga

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Collins gets the double break and leads 4-1 I cant see Iga coming back now
Iga gets one of the breaks back serving at 2-4

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga consolidates her break
Colins leads 4-3 3rd set

 

[Moxie]

OMG, Collins blows a 2-break lead, 4-4.

What did I say Iga is as tough as nails I know a lot of posters here are not fans of Iga, though she raises her game, a reason why she is world No 1

Personally, I'm a huge fan, but I thought she was looking vulnerable of late. But I like Collins, too, and this one is going to sting badly if she loses it.

Well Iga won coming back from 1-4 in the 3rd set,
Iga was pushed all the way winning 64 46 64

 

[Moxie]

Fantastic winner down the line to kill Collins.

and that dreadful Fluro Pink Romper Suit
Well done Iga! down 1-4 in the 3rd set as well 64 36 64 over Collins

I know Iga channels her inner Nadal, too. She definitely had to today. Danielle pulled back and stopped playing her aggressive game, to her chagrin, in the end. She's going to rue this one.

Iga is so tough that is why noone should rule her out until the end of a tennis match.

@Moxie On the grass and these fast HC she is very vulnerable, especially against big hitters. Remember what Osta did at the USO. Banshee here this year and in 22. Rybakina here last year. If she makes alot of 2nd serves, she gets bossed from the baseline.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well I am coming to the defence of Iga yes I know she can be vunerable against big hitters she showed today in her match against Collins she reset and came back from, 1-4,? that is why she can be soo difficult to defeat
Quite frankly Collins only get better when the roof was closed, she was defeated in SS by the 16 year old Mirra Andreeva at Kooyong before the AO
Dont forget how Barty defeated her at the AO final? her serve can go off and at times she dosent watch her margins and her shots dont find the court, at times she dosent have 'controlled aggression" Collins only knows one way to play, she dosent have much variety in her game.
As far as I am concerned Iga deserved her win....Never Count Her Out

No one needs to defend Iga, or her will to win.

Well that is my call okay, if I want to defend Iga or not, I happen to like her for a number of reasons,, she deserved her win today, what I am getting censored lwhat I can say now or who I can defend? I thought this was a discussion board ?
BTW Danielle Collins said this will be the last season of her tennis career

Oh, get over your thin skin. No one is against Iga. She's top seed and people will discuss her vulnerabilities. Same as Novak. Doesn't mean we don't like them, but it's THE question.
