The US’s Danielle Collins has set up an all-American clash in the next round of the Australian Open, after defeating Destanee Aiava in the women’s singles tournament on Thursday.

Collins, seeded at No. 10 in Melbourne, beat the Australian qualifier in three sets in the second round, triumphing 7-6, 4-6, 6-2 on Kia Arena.

Collins jeered after win

After completing her victory over Aiava, Collins was subjected to boos by the home crowd. During the match, she clashed with the Kia Arena supporters on several occasions, at one point telling them to “shut up” over their failure to remain quiet as she prepared to serve.

Who is up next for Collins?

The 31-year-old, who in October reversed her decision to retire at the end of last season, will play compatriot Madison Keys in the third round.

Keys, who is the No. 19 seed at the Australian Open, earned a three-set win over Romania’s Elena Gabriela Ruse earlier on Thursday.

When is Keys vs Collins?

The exact date and time of the third-round match is yet to be announced. However, it is likely to be played on Saturday, January 18. This article will be updated when further details have been confirmed.

What is Collins and Keys’ head-to-head record?

Collins and Keys have met three times before on the WTA Tour, with the latter holding the upper hand as things stand.

Although Collins won the players’ first ever clash, winning in straight sets in the second round of the 2018 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells (6-3, 7-6), Keys has triumphed in the pair’s two most recent meetings to lead the head-to-head series 2-1.

The Florida native won in two sets in the quarter-finals of the 2020 Brisbane International (6-4, 6-1), before advancing to a final defeat to the Czech Republic’s Karolína Plíšková.

Last year, in the final of the Internationaux de Strasbourg, Keys again saw Collins off in straight sets, winning 6-1, 6-2.

What is Danielle Collins' best Australian Open performance?

Collins is a former finalist at the Australian Open. The 31-year-old reached the championship game in 2022, but lost 6-3, 7-6 to Australia’s Ashleigh Barty.

Collins also reached the semi-finals in 2019, before going down 7-6, 6-0 to the Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova.
