First set to Collins...having avoided many break points.
Yep she toughed that out on her 3 SP had a really good return and Elena's shot was long Elena too passive on returns,, Collins is a fighter their matches are close and usually go to 3 sets
Collins 1st set 75

For goodness sake, my commies are saying they dont think Rybakina has much energy left, so she needs to play first strike tennis and end points quickly,
BTW Elena had a day off from her SF win and said she would not practice and she usually plays first strike tennis lol!
Please get rid of GBR ex player Laura Robson she is a hopeless commentator!

A very tight volley from Elena bad technique which finds the net and Collins breaks and will be serving for her biggest title of her career! at 5-3
Scream it out Danielle!

Danielle Collins wins the biggest title of her career ( she was my dark horse to win the title) in her final season on tour, 75 63 against Rybakina in her home state, at the tournament where she made her name

Well done Danielle!

Yes.. Collins is deserving of a home turf title.She played the best tennis of her career and was rewarded.Rybakina was kinda passive and she paid for it.At least Danielle will go into retirement with a big title on her resume.

Well done to the Doubles Champions Kennin/Mattek-Sands defeating No 2 seeds Dabrowski/Routliffe 46 76(5) 11-9
The American pair were the first alternatives, grabbing a spot after the withdrawal of Bouzkova/SS Tormo
