Are you ready? It’s time for ‘Danimal’ vs ‘Tigress’ at the Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens! Remember last year when Aryna Sabalenka snapped Danielle Collins’ 15-match winning streak at the Madrid Open? Well, at the moment, the Belarusian has yet again a chance of breaking Collins’ incredible winning streak. The American is currently on a nine-match winning streak at the Miami Open. Collins has kept her title defense alive, with a hard-fought victory in the previous round. Can she now stop the Top seed from making progress into the QF?
Aryna Sabalenka had a stellar start to her season in 2025. She clinched the title at the Brisbane International and also made it to the final at the AO. Although she struggled a bit in the Middle East swing, Sabalenka made a strong comeback in Indian Wells. However, even there, she felt just one step short of a title triumph. Here in Miami, she has already got off to a flying start and she’ll be entering this following her opponent, Elena-Gabriela Ruse’s mid-match retirement in the R32. After finishing this 29-minute match, Sabalenka wished Ruse a speedy recovery, “I hope she gets well soon. Tough to say anything about this match.”
What is Aryna Sabalenka’s head-to-head record against Danielle Collins as of their upcoming match at the Miami Open?

On the other side, Danielle Collins has now entered into the R16 of the Miami Open for the fourth time in her career. She defeated Switzerland’s Rebeka Masarova by 6-4,3-6,6-3 in the previous round. After the match, Collins was seen speaking about how she uses frustration effectively on the court. Talking about frustration, well, she would surely get a bit frustrated looking at her H2H record against Sabalenka. Who’s leading the race at the moment, though?
