Danielle Collins vs Ons Jabeur: Charleston Open round of 32 match preview

After winning her first WTA 1000 title at the Miami Open, Danielle Collins is now back on the court at her home clay court event. Entering the Charleston Open as an unseeded participant, the American tennis star recently breezed past her Spanish opponent  Paula Badosa, in a straight-set game, 6-1, 6-4.

Ons Jabeur, on the other hand, is coming to the Charleston Open after her initial round defeats in the Sunshine Doubles. In her previous campaign in Miami Gardens, the Tunisian player failed to overcome her unseeded opponent, Elina Avanesyan, in the round of 64. Even at the Indian Wells Masters, Jabeur tasted a first-round defeat at the hands of her American colleague, Katie Volynets.

Collins vs Jabeur: Head-to-Head

The second-round match between Danielle Collins and Ons Jabeur at the Charleston Open will also mark their fourth meeting on the WTA tour. In their previous encounter at the 2022 Miami Open, the American player defeated her Tunisian colleague in a straight-set game, and she currently has a 2-1 lead in their H2H record.

Prediction: Collins to come out on top in this second round of the Charleston Open

The American player, who has now reached the 22nd ranking on the tour, is in stellar form this season, having won her first WTA 1000 title in Miami. Given her recent phenomenal form and her brilliant 50-28 record on the clay surface, Danielle Collins will most likely prevail in a three-set challenging contest against her second-seed opponent. Ons Jabeur, on the other hand, has faced a number of initial round defeats this season, and she has yet to find her best level on the court.
