Has there been any American player that didn’t go to a tennis academy in junior years and had to play at college level made it to a grand slam final? Very special! Super talented and superb strong will! Collins is one that tennis kids should look up to. She has proved that you don’t need to pay a lot of money for private lessons or training at a tennis academy to become a great tennis player.
I've seen a handful of Danielle Collins matches, this one is by far the best performance I've seen from her, she wasn't missing anything. She will need to keep this level to have a chance against Barty in the final.
YES! She might as well have said, "class dismissed" at the end there, lol. From a fellow St. Pete native: Well done Danielle Collins! The focus and intensity during this match was awe inspiring. Best of luck against Barty. But no matter the outcome, this is a wonderful achievement!
Collins is a tiger. Hopefully she can figure out the Barty serve. I was hoping for a Keys/Collins final but I got half. I've seen Iga lose the 1st and comeback so I was thinking she would come back and make it a 3 set battle but Collins is rolling. Compliments to both ladies.
Love Danielle's game ... she puts so much pressure on that second serve it will even be a challenge for Barty ... should be a great final I like both of these players a lot
So very happy for Danielle´s great performance at AO. Those who have followed her always had confidence in her talent. Now, favored by a healthy condition, she has shown her true wares. Cheers!
I've caught Danielle's matches over the years and I've seen some excellent performances but that was unbelievable. Iga has been playing very good tennis. She looked lost out there. She ran into an absolute beast of a performance! If DC can get close to that level this could be a classic final.
Right. She is not warm and fuzzy thats for sure. She's an interesting personality. I'm happy she won but I can't figure out, outside of mental toughness and fortitude what makes her so good.
Iga knew from the beginning this would be a tough one. I feel like she needs to power up a little, bigger women hit harder and then she is forced to play defensive. Even if she went to the finals the same scenario would play out against Barty. Hit the gym Iga, your tennis IQ is already pretty high, all you need is extra power!
If Iga had a high tennis IQ she would've avoided hitting balls to Collins' backhand during this match. Iga's second serve in particular and general reluctance to come to the net is also a problem.
Amazing match by the steely Collins. So impressed with her intensity. She hardly celebrated after the match, as if to say "I'm not satisfied with what I've accomplished."
Ashley has been on fire this whole tournament but another giant is Danielle Collins whose game, humility, mindset and fight has been absolutely amazing to watch. Her grind, determination and movement on the court has been impressive thus far. It hasn't been an easy draw for her and I am very happy for all her success. She's worked hard and earns every win. Now go for the title queen.
I predicted Collins was gonna absolutely demolish Iga's weak serves & she sure did! Not only the 2nd serves but the 1st deliveries as well. Iga was rushed & just overpowered.
I’ve followed Collins for a while and I’ve seen that fighting spirit and determination since the beginning. With Ash’s unsteady nerves at big occasions, I think Collins may be our new Australian Open champion
At least Iga kept very quiet in the second set , she knew she was not going to make it . Danniel 's game was very strong and improved, love to see she will get a trophy in her collection, wish all the best for you, Danniel. Blessings.
Don't think so, the main reason Collins won was because she totally outpowered Iga(and I don't think Iga was expecting it). Barty has shown time and time again now that she can completely dismantle power players. I think Barty will easily win in straight sets again
No one can handle a proper slice used properly. The new calculation required each and every time is fatiguing. ANY less than perfect reply and Barty runs around and drills her fh in a corner.
Swiatek had a very favorable draw (highest seed she met was #25 Kasatkina) and made the most of it. She kept it together in some tough fights and achieved more than I would have rated her to pre-tournament. She is working with a rather weak serve and almost no net game but has time on her side. Congratulations to Collins for playing out of her skin, and being able to sustain that degree of aggression at low error rates for an entire match. Great serve, strong on both flanks, especially the backhand. Barty has a far superior and more complete game than any of Collins opponents until now. Serves are accurate, varied and powerful. Collins will not be able to so easily dismiss them as she did Swiatek's. I expect Barty's low skiddy slice to the backhand to cause Collins difficulty: she cannot step in and drive over them into the ad corner (esp into the service box). Rallies will not be at a single tempo. It'll be harder to get into a groove. She'll be pulled to the net on occasion and her net game is untested so far. Should be an interesting battle. If Ash and Danielle play as they have, my money is on Barty winning in two close sets.
Sure, the draw wasn't bad for Iga at all and she still has much potential to improve. Today she was absolutely dominated by Collins, who delivered a top-notch performance I was truly impressed with, especially by the way she put forward her plan A - excellent serve & return, she's so motivated and confident. But, writing that the highest seed Swiatek met was #25 Kasatkina is rather shallow. Her potential opponents included Sabalenka, Halep, Kvitova, Pavlyuchenkova; but they lost their matches to apparently 'inferior' opponents, who then Iga consistently (although not without trouble) dealt with. The depth is WTA is truly immense now... So, there certainly was an element of favourable circumstances to her route at 2022 AO, and her record against top-10 players has much to improve; but she does deserve credit for this semi-final. Again, congratulations to Danielle for this match and getting to the final, well-deserved, and generally an inspirational story of success!
Towards the end she completely broke Iga physically, mentally emotionally! Look at the sheer power of her arms and her shots! If you see Danielle's strength training it is just scary!!
If you have not seen the Collins/Tauson match, ya got to watch it. It was a great match and Collins had to fight for most of her points, it did not come easy.
like all 4 players in the SF, no Osaka drama queen. Collins's win is sweeter. You gotta love her tennis story. From public court (if I am correct) to GS final. Her fierce attitude has tamed a little for the audience, but you can see she is fired up inside. I cannot pick a winner for the final.
If it would be so easy to become Champion everyone would like to be one, it takes time over time many lost and won games.....Iga is only 20 and her time will come, I cheer for you girl, practice hard, play even harder and one day ....congrats to my girl to come so far, we love you 😍
Man, at the age of 20 she won 2020 RG, 2022 WTA1000 in Rome 2021, also Adelaide 2021, QF at 2021 RG, now continuing a very consistent series of performances at consecutive GSs (6 times in a row in the second week I guess, the only one in WTA) and just got to AO SF... Plus the junior Wimbledon. She's now ranked 4th in WTA, for the second time in her short tennis career. I guess 99% tennis players would consider it a record of dreams for entire career. So, sure, still much to room for improvement given her potential - but what I want to say is that these patronizing, cheering comments like 'no worries, you will learn & get better, it's not so easy to become Chamption, we love you anyway' that appear so often once Swiatek looses a match are kind of erratic, aren't they?:)
I like Iga quite a bit but she’s spending way too much time on defense and that serve doesn’t have much on it which is part of the reason she’s stuck just trying to get balls back
Re-watching this, Iga still has the same exact game. Same serve motion, same backhand, same western grip forehend, all thats change is Igas mental game thats made her so formidable.
I had never seen Collins to play, she is very powerful, her groundstrokes put Iga on defensive most of the times . Before the match I thought Iga would win but Danielle was impressive. good luck for her in the final, it would be nice to have a new Champion of GS.
Come onnnnnnnnn Collins. I do love those power players they make the game more interesting. I knew Collins was gonna win this game she has too much power. Collins wins 3 sets in final
I couldn't believe how loud Nick K. was against Medvedev! I don't remember him being that guttural in other matches. Kinda Sharapova-ish, as far as being incredibly annoying.
Australia Open 17 stycznia 2024 roku i tym razem w drugiej rundzie, Iga Świątek, pokonała Colins 6:43:66:4. Iga fantastycznie walczyłaś masz charakter i wolę walki wyprowadzając w trzecim secie ze stanu 1:4, przy serwisie Colins na 1:5, aby ostatecznie wygrać tego seta 6:4 i zakończyć mecz zwycięstwem.
If she keeps her nerves in check, the final shouldnt be a contest. That lethal backhand against Barty's only slice backhand. First time I'm seeing her play and this was awesome.
Collins' on-court demeanor makes Giorgi look warm and approachable. I doubt that says anything about either of their personalities, of course. What a fighter, really well deserved. As others have noted, she didn't have a privileged background as so many tennis stars did.
Some players put on that "game face" to maintain their concentration and suspend the natural tendency to show compassion as their opponent becomes dejected.
Caramba, Collins não deu um sorriso durante toda a partida. Não que ela fosse obrigada a isso, mas ela parece estar um pouco amarga. Venceu, e bem, à Iga Swiatek. Passou com certa facilidade para a final. Congrat, Collins and honorous mention to Iga Swiatek!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love Ash but I love Collins, too. Am I the only one to realize an American woman has made it to the Aussie Open women’s final for the third year in a row? Im calling it: I think Collins will win but in 3 sets-to drop the 1st set but then to win 2nd and 3rd.
COME ON, DANIELLE!!! COME ON, DANIELLE!!! COME ON, DANIELLE!!! Even though I want Danielle to win, Barty is playing so good. If Danielle loses, I hope it goes three tight sets.
Absolutely stunning tennis performance, manner and emotional control by Iga Swiatek It was not her day today but she is only 20 and is very, very talented tennis player. If she add some power to her serve nobody can beat her. I am also impressed by the shake hand at the end. If DC have lost the game she even would not have shaken hand. Congrat to DC anyway.
WTA ranking is a joke for years now. Without Serena, only Ash kind of keeps the level but other top 10 players can with equal chances lose to players at 100+ position. For ATP it is happening sporadically, for WTA it is just a norm.
Iga forehand motion is changing into more aggresive one. I think her old motion is quite good with more top spin that sometimes confused those WTA players. She won easily with her old FH against collins last year
Danielle means business! she is a big threat when she is playing this well. She is easily a top 10 player when her game is consistent and her backhand is deadly!!! Glad to see her work is paying off. This should be a great final against barty!!!
If Barty beats Collins in the final she will have captured this grand slam title without facing any player in the top 20...and people criticized Raducanu's draw at last year's US Open.
Set 1 : Collins too far way leaving Swiatek,, when Swiatek have comeback momentum, Collins succesfull safe n lock her set! Set 2 : Absolutely Collins too dominated! So Far this is best performance from Danielle Collins congrats for first Grand Slam final 👏👏
You got this AO 2022 title Danielle! You gotta crash this 'Barty party' nonsense. You beat her last time you played her, you can do it again. Just keep playing your game and take the returns early like you did with Swiatek. Doesn't matter who's on the other side of the net, just play your game, you got this! 💯 AO🏆
Collins does have RA but that doesn't mean she has to act like she hates her opponent. I have to say it's hard to be on her side. Barty on the other hand is mature beyond her years. If Collins can't blow her off the court in the first 2 shots, Barty will win in straight sets.
Towards the end she completely broke Iga physically, mentally emotionally! Look at the sheer power of her arms and her shots! If you see Danielle's strength training it is just scary!!
Wow. Swiatek got pummeled. Barty might well be in a bit of trouble, though she's better at neutralizing power than is Iga. I think it's up to Collins. If she keeps her cool, she wins. If she gets frustrated, Barty dismantles her.
Compared to what I've observed in the past, currently Danielle's demeanor reminds me so much of young Chris Evert. Vanilla, no matter what happens. Don't let your opponent see you ruminating or celebrating. Way to keep it all under control.
Has there been any American player that didn’t go to a tennis academy in junior years and had to play at college level made it to a grand slam final? Very special! Super talented and superb strong will! Collins is one that tennis kids should look up to. She has proved that you don’t need to pay a lot of money for private lessons or training at a tennis academy to become a great tennis player.
Didn’t know too much of her story but it’s awesome to hear this. Same for Williams sisters, McNally and Gauff..great great
Jen Brady made it to the Australian Open final last year
@@shadowarcher3966 she went to Evert
@@goraiders2266 nvm
Great point it is refreshing to see someone actually get an education and be a great player.
I've seen a handful of Danielle Collins matches, this one is by far the best performance I've seen from her, she wasn't missing anything. She will need to keep this level to have a chance against Barty in the final.
a bit concerned about DC's volleyes and drop shots...they are not so good and AB will take advantage of that...
YES! She might as well have said, "class dismissed" at the end there, lol. From a fellow St. Pete native: Well done Danielle Collins! The focus and intensity during this match was awe inspiring. Best of luck against Barty. But no matter the outcome, this is a wonderful achievement!

Collins was Serving big. Without a big serve its impossible to consistently win Slams.
Tiger, then later cougar?
Tigress
A Keys Collins Final? Just ball bashing...thankfully it didn't happen
Looked like a home run derby for Collins. So many crushing returns.
Love Danielle's game ... she puts so much pressure on that second serve it will even be a challenge for Barty ... should be a great final I like both of these players a lot
The love never ceases Iga 😔
Figured that serve would have issues vs Collins, that final will be *INTERESTING*
So very happy for Danielle´s great performance at AO. Those who have followed her always had confidence in her talent. Now, favored by a healthy condition, she has shown her true wares. Cheers!
Haven't watched much of DC but she was definitely on fire here. Iga had no response.
I've caught Danielle's matches over the years and I've seen some excellent performances but that was unbelievable. Iga has been playing very good tennis. She looked lost out there. She ran into an absolute beast of a performance! If DC can get close to that level this could be a classic final.
Wish we had Danielle in the final of Indian Wells against Iga tomorrow. That would be a good rematch and I'd be pulling for Danielle again.
Iga used this as motivation to go on her 36 match win streak in 2022
Ever-serious, rarely smiling, all-business-like Danielle Collins finally makes a major final. Congrats to her!
Right. She is not warm and fuzzy thats for sure. She's an interesting personality. I'm happy she won but I can't figure out, outside of mental toughness and fortitude what makes her so good.
She takes the ball early......
a forehand at 7:20 this close to the net .. do they not teach them to smash anymore ?1 nonetheless the rest of the match was sterling.
She was too close to the net for a standard overhead. She would have risked hitting the net with a full overhead swing. She did the right thing.
@@si-hung9759 interesting I would not have thought of that it that way.
GREAT highlights! no bs, all tennis. thank you.
That BH! Wow!
I can't believe she kept serving to that wing.
Danielle had a great run on the tour last year so I’m not at all surprised she’s made it this far. Her A Game is outstanding. Should be a great final.
Collins has amazing groundstrokes!!
Congrats! I admire both these women. The growth and maturity maybe at different points but they're great competitors. Collins best of luck!
Love Danielle's game. It was like vintage Venus Williams - inspired all out aggression
Iga knew from the beginning this would be a tough one. I feel like she needs to power up a little, bigger women hit harder and then she is forced to play defensive. Even if she went to the finals the same scenario would play out against Barty. Hit the gym Iga, your tennis IQ is already pretty high, all you need is extra power!
I could not say it any better than you. Iga needs to pump some iron and bring more power into her game.
If Iga had a high tennis IQ she would've avoided hitting balls to Collins' backhand during this match. Iga's second serve in particular and general reluctance to come to the net is also a problem.
Amazing match by the steely Collins. So impressed with her intensity. She hardly celebrated after the match, as if to say "I'm not satisfied with what I've accomplished."
Yeah. She was telling herself, "Mission not yet accomplished"
Swiatek is a tough opponent, congrats for the win Danielle !

@@wlpc1919 None at all, I wonder what happened to her serve when she transitioned to the pros. In the juniors, Iga was poppin that serve at 110+ mph.
You are so right!! Iga will not win another GS if she does not straighten out that serve. I also think that she needs another coach as well.
@@wlpc1919 well well... this comment def did not age well haha
@@jagannallani6066 literally

We will soon see!
And Collins beat Barty in Australia (Adelaide) last year, so there is history.
Barty in 2
She proved me wrong. Good for her
Now u know u were wrong!!!!
Iga hitting to Danielle's backhand cost her key points and ultimately, the entire match.
I’m glad Danielle won. Somebody different for a change
At least Iga kept very quiet in the second set , she knew she was not going to make it . Danniel 's game was very strong and improved, love to see she will get a trophy in her collection, wish all the best for you, Danniel. Blessings.
I didn’t expect such a comprehensive win by Collins. She definitely has a shot in the finals even with Ash playing so well.
Don't think so, the main reason Collins won was because she totally outpowered Iga(and I don't think Iga was expecting it). Barty has shown time and time again now that she can completely dismantle power players. I think Barty will easily win in straight sets again
Yeah, her first strike ability is going to be interesting against Barty's versatility. I'm especially curious to see how she handles the slice.
@@Marvelerence I think you forgot Iga spend 3hrs in the heat the prior day.
No she doesn't. She will choke.

@Housseyy Because she became the anti tennis all time example
I love that she's all business-like, no grunt, no drama no fist pumping every single points she wins.
She grunts but
Actually she grunts and screams a lot when getting pumped up. Which is totally fine by the way.
She's very vocal at times! I'm pretty concerned though that she she bashes her head with the raquet sometimes too
When she grunts at another level- although rarely but she does like she is gibing a birth.
What? She is very well known for her come-on!
COLLINS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT GAME!!!! Lets go final!
Danielle playing that "take no prisoners" style of tennis.
Collins played with no fear. The final against Barty should be interesting
If it would be so easy to become Champion everyone would like to be one, it takes time over time many lost and won games.....Iga is only 20 and her time will come, I cheer for you girl, practice hard, play even harder and one day ....congrats to my girl to come so far, we love you 😍

Nice play by Collins but she’ll have to play lights out tennis to have a chance in the final. The variety in Barty’s game is difficult to neutralize
or to turn that around the variety in Barty's game is good at neutralizing power games. (and every other kind of game)
Danielle Collins for the gold! 🇺🇸.
She plays so well and without Grunting.. ! It's refreshing..
Danielle is my favorite 🎾 player such amazing talent 💪she will get plenty of 🏆
This is going to be a hard fought final. Bring the popcorn and beers!

Reminds me of the Collins Class submarine,it just keeps breaking down without a smile.

so many beautiful shots
Go Danielle!!!🎾❤️😊
So much for the rankings.
WTA ranking is a joke for years now. Without Serena, only Ash kind of keeps the level but other top 10 players can with equal chances lose to players at 100+ position.
For ATP it is happening sporadically, for WTA it is just a norm.
@@marnow1232 We just don't have players like Graf or Seles these days. Hopefully Barty can become one of those.
I like how Danielle dosen't scream like a banshee like Sabalenka.
Wow. Danielle is on FIRE!!!!🔥🔥🔥 Without a coach!!!!!!
and saves a lot of money for not having one. LOL
same here, darn it.
Omg! She is unstoppable 🔥🔥🔥
Collins is fast and hits hard but that’s Ash’s favorite to dismantle (RIP keys). Ash will win in easy straights.
Iga forehand motion is changing into more aggresive one. I think her old motion is quite good with more top spin that sometimes confused those WTA players. She won easily with her old FH against collins last year
Great win by Collins
All due respect, Swiatek's 2nd serves look abysmal, at least based on the highlights.
Her service motion looks like , she had learned how to serve just yesterday
Danielle means business! she is a big threat when she is playing this well. She is easily a top 10 player when her game is consistent and her backhand is deadly!!! Glad to see her work is paying off. This should be a great final against barty!!!
I think she can beat anybody except probably an in-form Barty, but Barty has wilted in the Australian Open before so....go Danimal.
Gratulacje dla Collins . Gratulacje IGA ŚWIĄTEK jesteśmy z Tobą znakomity mecz i emocje 🇵🇱 POLAND . Życzymy zdrowia i wytrwałości oraz sukcesów .
Danielle's feistiness use to annoy me but I've actually grown to enjoy watching her
she toned down so much that it's hardly the same person.

@@OUTTAIDEAS88 I meant for this slam like @Jo Buck87 said. Obviously she's had tough draws in the past.
Collins is live ranking number 10.
And coming off a long injury, always ranked below her true level.
As obviously seen...
Raducanu is a one-hit wonder, Barty has beaten pretty much all of them.
Great match from Collins!
2:16 is my favorite moment of the entire AO22
Tough loss for Iga. Danielle was in control of the match from start to finish.
so sad that Iga didn't make it to the final, but well done by Collins
2:20 that commentary was so well timed lol
If there is ever another terminator movie, cast Danielle as T-X.. Locked in precision from first point to last..
Iga's serves are going to be smashed to bits. Collins was ready from the start.
Well done collins get that trophy good luck
Kick Ass. You can Win A Major!!!
Set 1 : Collins too far way leaving Swiatek,, when Swiatek have comeback momentum, Collins succesfull safe n lock her set!
Set 2 : Absolutely Collins too dominated!
So Far this is best performance from Danielle Collins congrats for first Grand Slam final 👏👏
A big shout out to both players, who have proved women can deliver a great tennis match without those annoying screams.
Danielle only screams as a tactic when she starts losing.
Iga's coach may have not done his homework. Hitting to her backhand was not a good strategy.
You got this AO 2022 title Danielle! You gotta crash this 'Barty party' nonsense. You beat her last time you played her, you can do it again. Just keep playing your game and take the returns early like you did with Swiatek. Doesn't matter who's on the other side of the net, just play your game, you got this! 💯 AO🏆
I concur. 😎
"Just play your game..." Not the best advice obviously
Collins does have RA but that doesn't mean she has to act like she hates her opponent. I have to say it's hard to be on her side. Barty on the other hand is mature beyond her years. If Collins can't blow her off the court in the first 2 shots, Barty will win in straight sets.
CONGRATULATIONS Collins
damn she was dialed in for sure! nicely done
Towards the end she completely broke Iga physically, mentally emotionally! Look at the sheer power of her arms and her shots! If you see Danielle's strength training it is just scary!!
People laugh at me cuz danielle been my fav player for a few years.
Finally seeing vindication
A thing of fierce beauty.
I like her now that she's more calm and focused. What a bad ass. Iga had no answers.

Perfectly stated 👌
Wow. Swiatek got pummeled. Barty might well be in a bit of trouble, though she's better at neutralizing power than is Iga.
I think it's up to Collins. If she keeps her cool, she wins. If she gets frustrated, Barty dismantles her.
Did anyone mention, that Iga had only 24h to recover
from 3h battle with Kanepi? What does it tell you about organizer?!
Danielle played the day before too. Iga should have lost yesterday anyway. Stop making excuses if it was meant to be she would’ve won
Compared to what I've observed in the past, currently Danielle's demeanor reminds me so much of young Chris Evert. Vanilla, no matter what happens. Don't let your opponent see you ruminating or celebrating. Way to keep it all under control.
