There are two factors that played a big role here: Collins had a day off yesterday, and H2H Cincinnati won 2:0 Samsonova, a Russian who had a good season. Overall, Liudmila Samsonova did not do anything significant today: Noskova plays hard on clay, makes many mistakes, and is lazy to run. Parry mainly plays from the right side and her shots are very poor. Badosa has been dealing with back injuries recently and has not played for about 2 months.
In the first round, Collins beat Kenin, who had improved her game, and in the second round, she beat Raducanu, although Raducanu had some health issues and it was unclear how the match would end. Collins had some struggles but managed to pull through. She definitely needed an extra day, which she got when Kalinskaya withdrew from the tournament.
Overall, Samsonova has been struggling in recent times, but the positive thing is that she tries to close points quickly, even though it leads to many mistakes. Danielle Rose Collins plays very aggressively and accurately, with very good serves, although she does tend to take risks on second serves, resulting in some double faults.
