The two WTA tennis stars’ friendly relationship off the court is a treat to their fans. But their on-court rivalry, where Pegula leads over Collins (5-0), is also appreciated by their fans. However, recently, Pegula has skipped many tournaments since her last semifinal match at the Charleston Open. The reason behind this prolonged absence was her injuries. But not to worry, as the American tennis pro has finally returned and has already surpassed the Round 32 match of the S-Hertogenbosch, NL event. Currently, she is getting ready to face Aleksandra Krunic in her next match.

While she continues her season this year, fans are waiting to see more of her on-court and off-court achievements!
