 Catalan Garcia vs. Daniel Collins, third quarter final for the Miami Open for 2024. Both players have been a surprise to get to this stage. Collins started the tournament off unseeded and will take on the lucky loser Perra in the first round. And after dropping the first set, fight back to win 3-6-6-1-6-1. In the second round she take on the 30th seed Potipova. There's no problem getting through in straights 6-2-6-2. In the third round she take on Avanessian who had just upset Jabur the sixth seed in the previous round. But again no problem for Collins getting through in straights 6-1-6-2. In the fourth round she take on the 19th seed Castella who had actually been really good this time last year in Miami. But again no problem for Collins getting through in straights 6-3-6-2 to advance to the quarter final. Garcia into the tournament as the 23rd seed will get a buy in the first round. In the second round she take on Tomova and after demolishing her in the first set Tomova would eventually retire 6-1-5-2 retirement. In the third round she take on Osaka who had just taken out Svetlina in a very impressive match in the second round. And after a close first set Garcia would get through in straights 7-6-7-5. In the fourth round she take on the number three seed Goff who had only lost seven games to this stage. And after winning the first and dropping the second Garcia would run away with the third 6-3-1-6-6-2 to advance to the quarter final. This will play three times or four with Collins winning all three matches in straight sets including a match last year in San Diego in the quarter finals where Collins demolished Garcia. So if Garcia is going to get a win here she's really going to have to turn her around and figure out how to combat Collins aggression. Collins is going to win this one. She just used that aggression and just do what she's been doing in the last three matches. I mean she hasn't even been bothered really by Garcia in the last couple of matches. Only one tie break in the six sets that are played. So be aggressive and just do exactly what she did in those previous matches. If Garcia is going to win this one she needs to bring that variety and also bring that serve. She served so well against Osaka. She didn't serve great against Goff but it got away with it anyway. She needs to really make sure that she does bring the variety and also be aggressive before Collins can be aggressive. Very fun matchup. Collins has had a really good season and now is starting to get some results to show for it. And Garcia having a bit of a resurgence this week but a good to go with Collins in three. That head to head is so one sided and with Garcia having a shoulder problem I've got to go with Danielle Collins for the confidence and for a three setter to make the semis. But let me know in the comments below who do you think is going to make the semi-final.
