Prediction and Conclusion

The world No. 1, Iga Swiatek, is having a dominant season, losing only one of 25 matches played on clay. She won the French Open a couple of months ago at the Roland Garros Stadium, where the Olympic tournament is being held. This will be her eighth match against Collins, and interestingly, all of the previous matches were played on hard surfaces. Collins has a decent season, but Swiatek is unbeatable on clay, so the Polish player will win this one in straight sets.
