Coco Gauff and Danielle Collins’ Efforts to Counter WTA Triopoly Earns Special Acknowledgement From Ex-American Pro

The European clay court season so far has brought not just one but two protagonists: Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka. Be it the tournament in Madrid or Rome, both rivals made it to the finals, with the Pole standing one step ahead of the game. But who do you think completes the rivalry triangle? Coco Gauff? Or maybe there’s one more name who is not ready to make it a triopoly.

In a recent episode of the famous podcast series Racquet’s Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast, co-hosts Stubbs and Sam Querrey delved into details about various aspects of building up for the upcoming French Open. While Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka, ranked number one and two, respectively, have been leading the charge, the former ATP star explained how Coco Gauff and Danielle Collins are also keeping a share of the focus.

“Iga and Sabalenka are creating and Rybakina as well. The three of them are kind of separating themselves from the field,” Querrey observed. “It’s making for great rivalries, it’s making for some must-watch matches and finals in these events, which is great.”

Coco Gauff, who unleashed her dominant potential, leading to a massive victory at the US Open, undoubtedly stands as the third major competitor. However, according to Querrey, Danielle Collins’ performance in the last year of her professional career has helped her emerge as the fans’ favorite. With her remarkable victories in Miami and Charleston, along with reaching the semi-finals in Rome, she is being viewed as someone who won’t let her image be deprived of the spotlight.

“Coco obviously has won the US Open. She’s a Grand Slam champion. She’s got a big game, she can make a run. Danielle Collins right now winning Miami, winning Charleston. Semi-finals in Rome last week. She’s a fighter. She’s exciting to watch,” the former pro said, listing the reasons why both of them stand a high chance.
