Miami Open: Danielle Collins beats Elena Rybakina in women's final

Victory over Elena Rybakina was Danielle Collins' first win over a top five player since October 2022

"I've worked so hard and it's taken me a little bit longer than a lot of players on tour," said Collins, playing in her home state of Florida. In beating 2022 Wimbledon champion Rybakina, world number 53 Collins becomes only the second unseeded women's champion in Miami, after Kim Clijsters in 2005. After an early trade of breaks in the second set, Rybakina was made to pay for two missed break-point opportunities when Collins took her own chances to go 5-3 up.
