The match

Seventh seeded Iga Swiatek bids to reach her second Grand Slam final. The Pole takes on Danielle Collins, who is seeded 27th, with the winner facing either top seed Ashleigh Barty or resurgent Madison Keys in the final. Swiatek won the French Open in 2020 and made the quarter final in Paris the following year. Before this tournament though, she'd failed to get past the fourth round in any other Grand Slam event. Swiatek had reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in both 2020 and 2021 but has finally managed to go beyond that stage. 2021 didn't end well for her with three losses in the last four matches played. A strong start has been made this year though, beginning with a run to the semi-finals in Adelaide. Wins there included victories over Leylah Fernandez and Viktoria Azarenka, before losing to Ashleigh Barty in straight sets. This tournament has seen Swiatek win her first three matches in straight sets before having to come from a set down to defeat Sorana Cirstea in the last 16. The quarter finals again saw her lose the first set, but she recovered to beat Kaia Kanepi  

Only once before has Danielle Collins taken on Iga Swiatek. That was in Adelaide last year but she only won two games before retiring in the second set. Collins is the world number 30 but up to 14th in the live rankings. Reaching the final would see her move up to 10th. Collins is in her second Australian Open semi-final, the other being in 2019 when losing to eventual runner-up Petra Kvitova. Only on one other occasion has the American reached the last eight of a Grand Slam (2020 French Open). Before this tournament, that run in France is her only time past the third round in the last 10 Grand Slams. This is her first tournament of the year, 2021 ended with her reaching the semi-finals in Linz. Her route to the last four here has seen Collins taken to a final set by Clara Tauson and Elise Mertens in the third and fourth rounds. Her quarter final saw her beat Elize Cornet in straight sets. This is her toughest task so far and Swiatek can get the win, though it might take her three sets to do so.

Key Statistics

  • Swiatek has won her only previous match against Collins.
  • Collins hasn't beaten a top ten player in 11 months.
  • Swiatek has only been beaten by Ashleigh Barty this year.

The bet of our experts

Iga Swiatek can be vulnerable at times but once hitting top form is difficult to beat. The Pole has been in good form this year and this is her second successive semi-final. Danielle Collins hasn't had the toughest of draws to get this far and the tip is for Swiatek to win, possibly in three sets.
