Draw and next match H2H: Danielle Rose Collins vs. Ashleigh Barty – stats

Collins will compete against Barty in the 2nd round. This will be the 4th time that Danielle Rose Collins and Ashleigh Barty face off. The head to head is 3-0 for Barty (see full H2H stats), 1-0 on hard.

The last time that they locked horns, Barty won 3-6 6-1 7-65 in the semifinal in Adelaide back in 2020.

While Barty is widely considered the favorite to win the match also strong of her H2H record vs. the American, Collins can definitely cause an upset. Barty is also a little bit under pressure as many think that she is not the “real” world on.1 as she retains the top position only because the ranking points are frozen. Ashleigh will try to demonstrate the opposite.
