Danielle Collins comes from behind to beat Elise Mertens and reach the Australian Open quarter-finals
Danielle Collins is into the quarter-finals of the Australian Open for the second time in her career after beating Elise Mertens 4-6 6-4 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena. In the third meeting between the two, the 2019 Australian Open semi-finalist came out on top with her aggressive brand of tennis, hitting 45 winners, and she found a way past Mertens’ plucky defensive game. Ad/> Collins will face either Simona Halep or Alize Cornet in the next round and it means there will be three American women in the last eight.
