MELBOURNE, Jan 26 — Danielle Collins swept into the last four of the Australian Open Wednesday to match her feat from 2019 and shatter French veteran Alize Cornet’s dream of making a first Grand Slam semi-final.
Defeat was bitter-sweet for unseeded Cornet, who was in her first-ever Grand Slam quater-final after 17 years of trying, but was unable to take it a step further. “Especially playing against the girls I’ve been playing against the last couple of matches, really good competitors, really great athletes.”
With temperatures hitting 34 Celsius , both players held their opening serve as they sized each other up in a first meeting of a pair renowned for their on-court intensity. Cornet clung on but Collins was giving her few opportunities, until game 10 when nerves struck as she served for the set.
