Danielle Collins vs. Aryna Sabalenka | 2024 Rome Semifinal | WTA Match Highlights

Well, there it is. You alluded to it earlier. So if you turn the warm up about the fact that Savalenka who is all grip and riffs, I think she discovered that oh boy with the way that I'm hitting the ball and pushing my opponent so far behind the baseline. Drop shot is not a bad play. They have to come from. So she's playing somebody. Credit Savalenka who hits. Nasty ball. Once from the forehand and then a backhanded thing of beauty. Yeah, she's getting very comfortable with that shot. No doubt. Doesn't feel it outside, but he has to be pleased with how well arena is employing the drop. It's it's quite amazing and astonishing to see the field. And she settled in nicely here. Virtually everything in this 11th game responsible by Savalenka's racket. I mean, even after this fabulous forehand down the line, saving a set point, she's doing well. Arena Savalenka didn't play perfect tennis through the opening 52 minutes, but she played good enough tennis and she ensures that Danielle Collins is no longer perfect. Collins is well done to take all three of those balls out of the air and the finish. And Collins a bit flat and she'll be a bit dejected here. Savalenka assumes now a set and a break lead. Throughout the matches, previous matches here in Rome, especially the last one against us, a rank guide said she's listed in 5 foot 11. I'd say she's all of that. And as someone who eclipses 6 feet, having stood next to her, she seems to be even closer than that, so too. Book it. The two best women's tennis players in the world will dance again. Arena Savalenka blasts her way into her second consecutive final and ends the run of Danielle Collins as she bids adieu to Rome. And Savalenka will have her chance for first title in Rome and in the process some revenge. As it will be a rematch from Madrid into Rome. The Madroma double one versus two as Savalenka advances in straight sets 7562.
