Becomes the sixth American woman to claim the crown
Says she has achieved the goal set herself for her final season on the WTA Tour by winning the first Masters 1000 titleMIAMI – American Danielle Collins overcame fourth seed Elena Rybakina to win the final of the Miami Open 7-5 6-3 on Saturday and claim the title on home soil in her farewell season.
"This whole week has been tough - I have played against some of the best players in the world, including being out here and sharing the court with Elena in the final," Collins said. She joins Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, three-time champion Venus Williams, eight-time winner Serena Williams and Sloane Stephens as the sixth American woman to claim the crown.
However, the American regained the advantage after saving three break points to take the seventh game with the former Wimbledon champion unable to recover. "We didn't expect coming here to be in the final, to be honest, but it was a great two weeks. A lot of tough matches and great battles," the 24-year-old said.
"That's really important to me. That's something that I talked a lot about with everybody close to me. I really wanted to make a push to be able to bring out my best tennis.
