Danielle Collins the only American woman to make the singles quarterfinals at the Paris Olympics 2024 as Coco Gauff, Emma Navarro bite the dust

Four American women entered the singles draw of tennis at the Paris Olympics 2024, and only one has made it to the quarterfinals. Danielle Collins has emerged as the lone representative from the US to make the last eight at the quadrennial games.

Collins kicked off her campaign with a win over Laura Siegemund in her opener after the latter retired halfway through the second set. She then survived a spirited challenge from former World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki in the second round. She beat Camila Osorio 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 to reach her first-ever quarterfinals at the Olympics.

Emma Navarro came quite close to making the quarterfinals as well. However, she blew a match point in the second set of her third-round contest as Zheng Qinwen staged an incredible comeback to advance at her expense.

Coco Gauff was expected to make a deep run at the Paris Olympics given her record at Roland Garros, which is also the venue for tennis at the Games. She led by a break in each of the two sets during her third-round clash against Donna Vekic but lost the match 7-6 (7), 6-2.

Jessica Pegula was the first American woman to be knocked out as Elina Svitolina beat her 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 in the second round. It was another disappointing outing at the Olympics for the 30-year-old, who fell at the first hurdle during the previous edition of the Games on her debut.

The USA's northern neighbors didn't fare well at the Paris Olympics either. Bianca Andreescu and Leylah Fernandez, the Canadian hopes in the singles draw, were knocked out before the quarterfinals as well.

Andreescu went down to Vekic in the second round, losing 6-3, 6-4 to the Croat. She suffered another injury scare during her match which required a medical time-out. However, in a recent update, the former US Open champion let well-wishers know that it isn't something to worry about.

Fernandez made it a round further than her compatriot and lost to three-time Major champion Angelique Kerber 6-4, 6-3. The latter is set to retire following the conclusion of the Olympics and is making the most out of her swansong.

With the Olympics now in the rearview mirror, both players will focus on their next tournament, which takes place in her home country. Andreescu and Fernandez will head to Toronto for the Canadian Open, which will run from August 6-12.
