Paris Olympics Draw: Danielle Collins’ Fairytale Swansong Bites the Dust as Iga Swiatek Awaits the Kill
In a cruel twist of fate, Danielle Collins’ debut in the Olympics has hit a roadblock even before it started! The 30-year-old player is soon going to embark on her dream journey in the Olympics for the last time before her retirement, and it is perhaps not going to be a smooth ride. This is because lying in front of her is a potential danger in disguise, the World No. 1 player, Iga Swiatek.
Collins is ready to call it quits on her tennis career after this season. The announcement of her retirement was in itself a shock to us all, but as she moved forward in the tour, the American player put on her best game, winning matches with her aggressive style on-court and reigning over every tennis fan’s heart. Her surge to the top 10 players further underlined it as she conquered her dreams at the Miami Open and Charleston Open in a display of sheer hard work and talent.
Naturally, she comfortably secured her place in the Olympics this season, raising expectations among all of us. However, as the draw list for the Olympics comes to the surface, Danimal’s path to the podium seems like an even more daunting task. If Collins goes past the initial rounds, waiting for her in the quarterfinals will be Iga Swiatek. What makes it more challenging for Collins is that the Olympics will be played in the same place (Roland Garros) where Iga Swiatek won her fourth title (the French Open) a few weeks ago.
