Danielle Collins vs Maria Camila Osorio preview
Eighth-seeded American Danielle Collins will face off against Colombia's Maria Camila Osorio in the third round of the Paris Olympics. Collins is having a tremendous season in 2024. The American, who has proclaimed that 2024 will be her last year on the professional tour, has a 39-12 record in the year, capturing two titles at the Miami Open and the Charleston Open.
Collins has been in top form on the clay this year. Apart from winning the Charleston Open, she also reached the final of the Internationaux de Strasbourg only to lose to Madison Keys. The World No. 9 also reached the semi-final of the Madrid Open, losing to Aryna Sabalenka.
Collins started after her first-round opponent Laura Siegemund retired when the score read 6-3, 2-0 in favor of the American. She then squared off against Former World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki in the second round and won the challenging match 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
Camila Osorio has had a middling season in 2024, with a 21-14 record. The Colombian, however, has won one title in the season, capturing her home tournament, Copa Colsanitas, by defeating Marie Bouzkova in the final. Barring that one event, Ososrio has struggled to make the later rounds at WTA tournaments.
Osorio has defeated two higher-ranked opponents in the first two rounds at the Paris Olympics. She caused an upset when she defeated tenth seed and former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets in the first round. She then defeated Dayan Yastremska of Ukraine in the next round.

Danielle Collins vs Maria Camila Osorio prediction
Baseline rallies are the key in Collin's game. The American player has an arsenal of powerful groundstrokes on both wings of the forehand and backhand. She also has a big serve and considerable prowess at the net. This style of game dominated by a two-handed backhand makes Collins an effective player on the clay. With a 65% win ratio, clay is the most successful surface for the American.
Osorio has been an effective player on the clay. Both her career titles have come at the clay court of her home event in Bogota, Colombia. In her previous match against Yastremska, Osorio won 56% of the return points in the match. She struck 13 winners but made 32 unforced errors which included 8 double faults.
Given the current form and higher seeding, Collins should be able to prevail in this match.
