Danielle Collins vs Laura Siegemund prediction
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.
