Jaqueline Cristian, dramatically defeated in Madrid by Collins! “Danimal”, scandal with the public: “Disappear!”

Jaqueline Cristian was just a few games away from qualifying for the round of 16 in Madrid, but her opponent, Danielle Collins, the number 13 favorite at the 1000-point tournament in the Spanish capital, eventually got the win. The American prevailed with the score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, at the end of a match that lasted two hours of play, qualifying for the first time in the round of 16 in Madrid.

The first set was won by Jaqueline Cristian after a single break, with a score of 3-2. Our athlete served exceptionally well in the opening set and didn’t give her opponent any chance to break. In the second set, Jaqueline continued to serve very well, until the score was 4-5, when Collins applied pressure, managing to get the break and send the game to the decider, where the Romanian had no chance.

In the first set, when Jaqueline Cristian was applying constant pressure, Danielle Collins got into a conflict with some spectators in the stands, who were shouting on the sidelines. The American woman did not accept to hear them and immediately took a stand, speaking to them in a not very friendly tone: “Go away! You come and play! Come here and do what I do, okay? Have more respect!”the American shouted to the spectators, before winning an important point and lashing out at the people in the stands again.

For Collins, who achieved his 15th consecutive victory today (8-0 on clay in 2024), the round of 16 duel follows with the winner of the match between Aryna Sabalenka, the number 2 favorite, the defending champion, and Robin Montgomery, a player from the USA aged only 19 years.
