Australian Open 2022: Title wins teach Danielle Collins to 'ride out highs and lows'
The American staged a comeback to halt giant-killing Danish teenager Clara Tauson and keep alive dreams of bettering her last-four Australian Open heroics in 2019 Melbourne, Australia: Breaking through to win two titles last year taught Danielle Collins how to “ride out the highs and lows” — and it stood her in good stead Saturday at the Australian Open. The American staged a comeback to halt giant-killing Danish teenager Clara Tauson and keep alive dreams of bettering her last-four Australian Open heroics in 2019. “I think last year winning my first two events, I think it taught me how to win matches when I wasn’t playing as well and not playing perfect tennis because I think it’s easy to go into a tournament and make quarter-finals or semi-finals,” she said. “I think I made a big improvement and step in the right direction last year with that.” Tauson, 19, was making her main draw debut at Melbourne Park and stunned in-form sixth seed Anett Kontaveit in round two to telegraph her arrival – her first win over a top-10 player.
