American tennis sensation Danielle Collins has extended her impressive winning streak by clinching the WTA Charleston Open title just a week after triumphing at the prestigious Miami Open. The 30-year-old athlete showcased her prowess on the green clay courts of Charleston, overpowering Russian challenger Daria Kasatkina with a convincing 6-2, 6-1 victory.

The Miami Open champion’s back-to-back successes have propelled her to the 15th position in the world rankings, solidifying her position as a dominant force in the international tennis scene. Collins’ graceful victory in Charleston comes after a spellbinding semi-final win against top seed Jessica Pegula and a resilient display against Greece’s Maria Sakkari in the penultimate round.

Danielle Collins’ dominance on the courts has been reminiscent of legendary player Serena Williams, who last achieved the feat of winning the Miami and Charleston titles in the same year back in 2013. The American’s exceptional form has seen her drop merely two sets out of 28 in her recent tournaments, showcasing her unmatched skill and determination on the tennis court.

On the men’s side, rising star Ben Shelton emerged victorious at the ATP US Clay Court Championship in Houston, defeating seasoned competitor Frances Tiafoe in a hard-fought three-set battle. Meanwhile, the ATP 250 tournament in Estoril saw Hubert Hurkacz emerge as the champion after a stellar performance against Pedro Martinez. On a different front, Matteo Berrettini claimed victory at the Marrakesh ATP 250 tournament, overpowering defending champion Roberto Carballes Baena to secure his first title since 2022.
