Danielle Collins vs Jil Teichmann preview
Last year’s Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins faces World No. 33 Jil Teichmann on Wednesday.
Karolina Pliskova was Collins’ first-round opponent. She established a 5-0 lead in the first set, but the Czech rallied with two straight wins. The American won the set on her second try after saving two break points.
Collins went up 2-1 in the second set, but Pliskova broke back to even the score. The American broke her opponent’s serve again and kept her lead. She quickly won 6-2, 6-4.
Teichmann beat Olivia Tjandramulia and Amanda Anisimova. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was 2021 French Open runner-up.
Teichmann won the first set by breaking in the final game. In the second set, the Swiss broke Pavlyuchenkova’s serve to win 7-5, 6-4.

Jil Teichmann vs Danielle Collins prediction
Collins won her opening match of the season by defeating Pliskova. She dominated the match until serving out the opening set. Her serve was much stronger than last week, and she demonstrated tactical restraint.
Teichmann played well, although she was favoured to win against an opponent returning from injury. Collins is her true test. Two years ago at the Canadian Open, the American defeated her.
Teichmann won the opening set, then faded. Collins’ firepower overwhelmed her then, so the Swiss must be better prepared this time. She must also counter the American’s backhand. The world’s 14th-ranked player is noted for her stinging returns.
Collins should eventually beat Teichmann, despite Teichmann’s game.
