Danielle Collins vs Ons Jabeur preview
Fourth seed Danielle Collins will look to get her 2025 season underway when she takes on former World No. 2 Ons Jabeur in the opening round of the 2025 Adelaide International. Collins had a resurgent 2024, winning two titles in Miami and Charleston.
Aside from the two titles, the World No. 11 also reached the final in Strasbourg and had a semifinal run at the Italian Open. However, injuries saw her form dip in the latter half of the season. At the end of the year, the American player reversed her retirement decision that she had taken at the beginning of the season.
Ons Jabeur had a truncated season last year. The Tunisian ended her season after playing the Canadian Open in August. The season itself was underwhelming for the three-time Grand Slam finalist, as she struggled in the later half of the tournaments. She made as many as four quarterfinal runs but failed to advance beyond that stage.
2025 started on a similar note for Jabeur. At the Brisbane International, she started off well, winning 6-3, 6-2 over 14th-seed Ekaterina Alexandrova. She followed that win with a tense three-set win over Elina Avanesyan, defeating the Armenian 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. However, she again faltered at the quarterfinal stage, losing 4-6, 6-7 (2) to Russian teen sensation Mirra Andreeva.
Danielle Collins vs Ons Jabeur head-to-head
Collins has a 3-1 lead over Jabeur in the head-to-head. The last time these two players played each other was at the 2024 Charleston Open, with Collins winning the match 6-3, 1-6, 6-3.

Danielle Collins vs Ons Jabeur prediction
Collins has a 61 percent win ratio on hard courts, which makes it the most successful surface in her career. She has reached three hard-court finals, winning two titles. Her biggest career highlight came on the surface, when she reached the final of the 2022 Australian Open, losing to home favorite Ashleigh Barty.
Hard courts have been the weaker of the 3 surfaces for Jabeur in her career. The Tunisian has reached four hard-court finals but managed to win only one of them, which was at the 2023 Ningbo Open. That happens to be the former World No. 2's last career title so far.
Current rankings and form dictate that Collins will have the advantage. The American also has a positive head-to-head record against the Tunisian which will work in her favor.
Pick- Collins to win in three sets
