Eighth seed Danielle Collins will lock horns with Laura Siegemund in the first round of the Paris Olympics 2024.

Collins almost upset World No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the second round of the Australian Open but lost the match in three sets. She later announced her decision to retire at the end of the season following the loss. The American concluded the Middle East swing with a quarterfinal finish at the Qatar Open.

Collins bowed out in the second round of the Indian Wells Open, and then captured the biggest title of her career at the Miami Open. She continued her good run of form to win the Charleston Open the following week. Her unbeaten run came to an end in the fourth round of the Madrid Open against Aryna Sabalenka.

Collins made the semifinals of the Italian Open, and once again was eliminated by Sabalenka. She reached her third final of the year in Strasbourg but lost to Madison Keys.

Her time at the French Open was rather brief as she was knocked out by Olga Danilovic in the second round. The American made the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time but fell to eventual champion Barbora Krejcikova.

Siegemund won the United Cup with her fellow Germans at the start of the season. She has enjoyed modest success on the WTA Tour in singles until now, reaching the quarterfinals at Adelaide, Bogota, and Rabat.

Siegemund has tasted more glory in doubles this year. She bagged the mixed doubles title at the French Open, and finished as the runner-up at the Madrid Open with Krejcikova. She also made the last eight of the Australian Open and Wimbledon with the Czech.

Siegemund made the quarterfinals of the Rio Olympics in singles but didn't have the same luck in Tokyo as she lost in the first round. As for Collins, this will be her first time competing in the Olympics.

The American performed incredibly well throughout the clay swing only to suffer an early exit from the French Open. She now has a chance to redeem herself as the Paris Olympics are being held at the same venue.

Nine of Siegemund's 10 wins over top 10 players have come on clay. However, she's 1-14 against them since the start of 2018. She has hit a roadblock against them, and it's unlikely that she'll suddenly find a way to outplay Collins, who has performed at a pretty good level over the last few months.

Pick: Danielle Collins to win in three sets.
