That would be very short odds. A seeded grand slam finalist vs someone who just won their first grand slam match

It's been a feral crowd this year just as bad as the US Open
The world No.1 and defending champion rolls on!
@janniksin comes from behind to defeat local hope/wild card Tristan Schoolkate 4-6 6-4 6-1 6-3

Oh ooh looks like we only have 2 left in singles guys hope we can get them to the second week Danielle Collins has a lot of locals offside expect loud heckling for the rest of her tournament.

I don't blame her. It's been a feral crowd. Madison Keys is in good form, don't see Collins getting past her.

She just rubbed people the wrong way. Boasting about her" fat pay check and 5 star holiday" didn't help at all. Americans in general have a "we are the best" mindset.

Smug arrogance hope the crowd put her off her game next match.

She said that as a reaction to the crowd's behaviour she didn't instigate it

I did read there were a few clowns having more than a couple of drinks but she can be a moody player.

Well guys stayed up to 1.00am watching Vukic play last night have to say how much I enjoyed that match even though he lost it the level of tennis was outstanding 29 at the moment a late bloomer but some good tennis ahead of him going off that performance.
What a game.
Conrats to both, but especially the unheralded Aussie.
No dramas, no "look at me" - just guts and digging deep, and some spectacular shots too!
Loved this game.
I think you did too champion @Rock Hopper Steve 😉

Basically what happened was Destiny was about to serve for the set and Collins took a medical timeout. The crowd got abit rowdy about the timing as the timeout went for a while.
She then started baiting the crowd whenever they would do something she would banter back.
I didn’t have a problem with that.
Her carry on at the end when she won the match point wasn’t cool, she focused on giving it to the crowd whilst Destiny was waiting at the net, then basically just shook her hand and then continued to give it to the crowd until leaving the court.
Then didn’t give up in the interview on court or post match.
Very clear the crowd triggered something given how big and long the carry on was.
Find it surprising given how long & high performing Collins has been on the tour.
