That is a shock,Collins a s/finalist last year,has been playing well in Australia.
I also tought Collins got this, but Putinsteva is no stranger to making upsets. Took out Osaka last year in Wimbledon. So many of these WTA players can play big on a day and knock out seeds and you just wonder why they are not more consistent.

Projecting just one upset for Day 5.

Gorgeous to oust seeded Riske.

Poots is a highly strung player and can lose focus easily at times,lets see if she can back this win up in her next match.Lower seeds players usually come out swinging as they have nothing to lose and can cause upset,Collins is more the steadier player,even though she lost.

I think the only match with an upset potential today is the Cici vs. Mertens match. But, I am not sure of it though.

I guess no one saw Plishkova going down.

Pavs has not beaten her in 6 attempts,until today,Pavs has the game but she is a known Head Case.
I did not think Pliskova could win the title.
