Vondroušová Upsets Collins

22-year old Vondroušová went on to defeat tenth seed Danielle Collins 6-7(4), 6-0, 7-6(3), in about two and a half hours, to earn a spot in her fourth semifinal of the 2021 season.

The match was a battle from the start, as shown in the first set score. Vondroušová was able to find her serve, and blow past Collins in that second set to force a tiebreaker.

Vondroušová recorded 26 winners to 17 unforced errors, while Collins managed 33 winners to 36 unforced errors. Based on those numbers, Collins managed to be the more aggressive player of the two, but with the aggressive play, came the unforced errors, which arguably cost her the match.

The Czech will now look forward to Muguruza, where she’ll have to hope to continue any momentum and confidence she gained from her quarterfinal match.

Muguruza Continues to Dominate in Chicago

Second seed Muguruza has yet to drop a set this week in Chicago. The Spaniard started strong against American Ann Li, who she defeated 6-4, 6-4. She then moved straight through to the quarterfinals when her Round of 16 opponent Victoria Azarenka withdrew from the tournament.

Muguruza most recently defeated Japanese qualifier Mai Hontama 6-3, 6-2, in just an hour and forty minutes, also earning a spot in her fourth semifinal of the season.

Sweet victory 💪

Head-to-Head

This will be the second meeting between these two players. Muguruza currently holds the head-to-head edge with a 1-0 record. Their one and only meeting came earlier this year in the semifinals of the Yarra Valley Classic, where Muguruza won in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0.

Best Bet

This should be a great match between these players. Vondroušová coming off the win that she had in the quarters, and Muguruza playing the way she’s been. The two should match up against each other well in Chicago.

We do have one match to go off of, which happened earlier this year. It was played on an outdoor hard court, which is this same as this tournament. Once again, both will be relying heavily on their serve to be a big part of their game. But it looks like Muguruza seems to have the slight edge here, given their head-to-head record, and how dominant she’s playing in Chicago this week.

Best Bet: Muguruza (-130)
