Not a bad start, not a good start for the American for sure, and you know, finds away. It's a tough situation and just. Difficult to do when you want to be a professional athlete. The energy level is just not the same and. Problem, it's really impinging on effect to get pregnant. And she wants to have a family and. That was some return. Oh. That's dropped in on the break point. Evident as well against Alexandrova. So you ask you get. Now that's gorgeous. Nice doing enough on serve at the moment. They both are. They're the words you dread to hear. It was down the line back in weather by. Just to contextualize how good those return numbers are for Daniel Collins, her in Fort Worth in 2022. That's a pretty clear tactic. I think for Collins she was. Most emphatic hold of serve yet and that first serve percentage creeping up all the time as well. Oh, nice angle didn't get the purchase on the overhead. The lob I should say the American. Nice get. Gotta love that. Wow, smart. She took a bit of pace off that serve and it. Another fantastic first serve. She's doing a wonderful job in terms of. First serve here. What's a hold that heart wants to be watering my plants and reading books? And then she continues after this beautiful ace by the way, saying. Just the whole she was looking for unwavering with the new bulls after. Oh huge, well, I think she's seeing so much of that teaser from the outcourt. OK, I'll just go tea from the juice court then. Special end. That's the way to start. Fantastic kicks in. Doing the right thing though. See, I love that return to I mean to return down the middle heart right at the body of the server. You barely finish your servant. No way through. She's made that. She wants more from her boxing calls. Great illustration of exactly that. But that's stunning. What a finish. Hello, brilliantly done. I mean, they want to punch it again. That was so close. Danielle Collins is on her way potentially in Miami. What a reaction from her on the back foot throughout that opening set. But she makes it hers. To the American trying to get forward and put firmly in her place by comments. That's a beauty. I feel like she's done a really good job of staying away from that backhand, but the American possesses. The winners are really starting to tick along now for Collins. That's the perfect start. Crunch. Found it this time. Outstanding. There's the break. There's always that fabulous. What a time to find that. Sign of relief from the American there because we back in a state put one too late. I thought she was going to do this. Give her an inch and she is going to take a mile. Finally, re back in a has a break of the Collins serve. That's a big moment. She's still going to be aggressive on the second serve. Needed that or I thought you were talking about Martina. It's like I don't see Martin on the court. And her percentage will be higher. Tell you that much. Well, Andre Agassi must be good. Magnificent. Oh, she is going to be upset at this return. Such a clever serve. Took the pace off down the T. The very definition of living on the edge there with the depth she found. That's massive and she knows it. Oh goodness, where is that come from? It's so good and it. First serve percentage. A game away. Oh not yet, says the world number four not yet. She'd love that back body serve. For Danielle Collins in Miami. In her home state. A fairytale first WTA 1000 title on the latest stop of her farewell tour. A marathon for Elena Reback in it this week. 13 1⁄2 hours on court she spent trying to win this title, but it won't be hers. It belongs to the American. And deservedly so. She can't believe it. She can't believe it and she, you know, to tell the truth, the nerves nerves of steel for both and I will have you single champion.
