Petra Kvitova put an end to the Australian tale of Daniel Collins. That night the chef won the 7:6 (2), 6:0 semi-final clash with the Australian Open Australian Open in two sets. So the number eight in the tournament scheme is the first finalist in Melbourne. 25-year-old Collins was the great Australian open sensation so far. She had not won a match from sport news in her previous Grand Slam tournament but has now made a great raid to the 1/2 finals by eliminating Julia Gorges, Carolyn Garcia and Angelique Kerber in her way. Here, however, her ambitions for something bigger were broken by the experienced Kvitova, who crushed her resistance for 1 hour and 36 minutes. At the start of the game Collins started very steadily and even first managed to break into the fifth game to lead 3:2. However, for her regret, the breakthrough was not confirmed and Kvitova immediately regained the draw with a 3:3 break.
The game was then played for a game and came to a tiebreak. In it, Kvitova quickly took a solid lead with two mini-breaks for 5:1 and eventually managed to close a set with 7:2 points in the tiebreak. `` That`s what the American, who started nervously the second set, clearly hesitated. She entered into a dispute with chairman Carlos Ramos because of a problem with the system that reports whether the ball has touched the net at serve. This further shook her balance, and Collins could not show the stable game from the first set by not even recording her game and literally swept away by Kvitova. That`s how the little girl finishes in Melbourne and is already waiting for the winner of the other sullen clash between Carolina Plishkova and Naomi Osaka.
