Great match! Didn't know who Collins was until she beat Venus, and now it's clear why she made it to the semifinals. Jelena, absolutely marvelous tennis, once again! :)
If this Jelena can be lucky or error free all time, she can be really dangerous. She has very strong backhand-forehand that can make anyone can only watch the ball rolling
One of the best WTA matches I have seen. It had real pace and aggression with little in the way of unforced errors. The score was close and it was not one sided. Good luck Jelena in the final.
Jelena is special. She is brave and has some talents. One thing i am worried about is her body. She might be vulnerable of waist injury. Hope she keeps healthy and achieve some career!
This new coach for Ostapenko has done a great job. You hear him saying to Ostapenko to mix up her pace, which has done wonders for her. For a period she was trying to hit every shot like a winner. Also she said in the interview she has been working on controlling her emotions. I definitely see a difference.
Collins surprised me today. I did not know her at all, but she has powerful strikes and she moves pretty well for a newbie. I don't know if she could have win the match, but the first set was hers. But she opened the door to Ostapenko who gladly entered and won the first set. And when you give confidence to a powerful-striker like Ostapenko, there is almost nothing you can do because she will not make mistakes and continue hitting winners, either with the forehand or the backhand. I hope Collins builds up her future career on what she has done here in Miami because she has great potential. And I pick Ostapenko as the winner of this tournament.
I had never seen/heard of Collins and then I saw her play in Indian Wells and was impressed by her game/tenacity. She's really improving and coming into her own. She made Osto work for this one. Great tournament for Collins. She keeps playing like this and her ranking is going to keep going up and she'll be winning a lot more matches.
Ostapenko is such a beast, love her game. Can't wait for the final. Kinda think it'll be Stephens whose the steadier cleaner player, but Jelena with her back against the wall and she's downright frightening. Hope its an all out brawl
Final between the graceful stroke maker Stephens vs the powerful attacking game of ostapenko Who will be the winner? My mind wants ostepenko to win but brain says Stephens will win 😂
newmennium I could also say that Danielle Collins is arrogant, because of the cold way of looking into her eyes (or if she does not look at the way she greeted and looked at Venus Williams when she won, look a dry look, bitter and without desire) Danielle Collins lost because she is very temperamental, when a tennis player is like that, believe me everything goes wrong, if you don't control your emotions, it is a total disaster in her game and that will take its toll on her every time she plays against tennis players of the stature of Ostapenko. Ostapenko may be arrogant, but she is working on controlling her arrogance and temper inside of the tennis court, this added to the fact that she was the one who hit much stronger and pushing her game to the extreme to make Collins uncomfortable. I would rather say that she won with intelligence, with precision and aggression. I said, period! 😉🎾👍🏻
Collins has had the best week of her career, now 24 and going toe to toe with the best players in the world plus she's hot as can be and will become a millionaire soon!
Ostapenko è fatta cosi..e io amo il suo gioco e anche le sue (per voi) stranezze,invece io dico le sue qualità,non finge,non fa calcoli se gli conviene dire una cosa o l'altra,questa è Ostapenko la si deve prendere com'è-almeno lei dice quello che pensa
Ostapenko never disappoints you, a real fighter like her favorite player. Collins is also one for the future. She must go for the points now. Play more tours aiming for the third round, and past it the next year. Collins fits in perfectly with the upcoming young hitters.
Great showing from Collins. Biggest match of her career. Watched her at Indian Wells and her performance the past month has been amazing. She just ran into a grand slam champion playing perfect but Collins showed she belonged. She will win a slam. You heard it here first :)
Collins sure well proved the commentator wrong when she overpowered and outhit Osapenko to get set point in the first set. After that miss on set point she played oh so slightly more defensive which cost her the match but of course it is very hard physically and mentally to sustain that aggressive play. So I hope what she takes from that week that this aggressive game will lift her to the top of the game if she can sustain it and puts in the very hard work in training to make that happen and stays injury free.
When daniel breaks jelena to lead 6-5 in the first set, the camera caught their supporter act like she win that match. In the next game Daniel miss the opportunity and let jelena breaks back, event claim the first set by tie break. In the end, jelena won. Moral from this video is... Don't Celebrate Too Early ☺️
Amir Syach They’re not celebrating early, they’re cheering Collins on and encouraging her. The supporters you speak of are her family members and they are just cheering for her whenever she wins a good point.
Earlier in these highlights there was a point where Ostapenko was basically not even having to move because Collins was hitting everything right back at her, so it was like a shooting gallery...meanwhile collins was being run to each corner of the court. I guess she was scared to hit an angled shot, fearing the winner that would come back. But you can't let them off the hook, got to keep making your opponent run, at least. Down the line should have been the shot on what turned out to be match point. Ostapenko was already running to cover the corner and yet collins hit there anyway ... weary at the end of a tough match I guess. At this point Ostapenko was in complete control, she knew Collins would do the obvious and not take any more risks so she could anticipate her easily and it was all gravy for Ostapenko.
This just shows that Collard Greens didn't do shit when she beat Venus. Venus is just lame and will lose to a sloth in a wheelchair on any given day...choking ass. Osterporisis beat Collard Greens in 2 sets. Great job.
I don't want to sound nasty, but I can't find anything likable about Ostapenko compared to other well known players. Sure, she plays great and what not, I just can't grasp on her personality. To say the least I am rooting for Stephens in the finals!
I have to say almost the opposite. Ostapenko's personality is so refreshing. Better than Svitolina - her star quality is a negative value. She has the ability to make anything trashy.
Great match! Didn't know who Collins was until she beat Venus, and now it's clear why she made it to the semifinals. Jelena, absolutely marvelous tennis, once again! :)
Ostapenko is a machine. Once it heats, it can never stops 😂
Amazing run from Collins, didn't know her at all! I'm sure we'll hear more about her in the future!
17sunnyhour duh!
If this Jelena can be lucky or error free all time, she can be really dangerous. She has very strong backhand-forehand that can make anyone can only watch the ball rolling
Should women play sport🎾
Credit to Collins for getting to the semis. She's come a long way.
Miami Final 2018 will contested by two Grand Slam holder ...France Open 2017 champion vs US Open 2017 champion....
One of the best WTA matches I have seen. It had real pace and aggression with little in the way of unforced errors. The score was close and it was not one sided. Good luck Jelena in the final.
I prefer this match rather than the final...both players fought at their best here
Jelena is special. She is brave and has some talents. One thing i am worried about is her body. She might be vulnerable of waist injury. Hope she keeps healthy and achieve some career!
This new coach for Ostapenko has done a great job. You hear him saying to Ostapenko to mix up her pace, which has done wonders for her. For a period she was trying to hit every shot like a winner.

Has he?
Ostapenko looks solid to win the title.
Wow, look at all the people Serena's game has inspired, really love watching Jelena...
Indeed! The final will be between two players from the Willams School
Pls stop.
OptimistHunter Reel LOLOL
Women's tennis didn't even exist before Serena. She basically created a new sport.
newmennium... that's not true... Seles is the grandmother of modern womens tennis

I hope Collins builds up her future career on what she has done here in Miami because she has great potential. And I pick Ostapenko as the winner of this tournament.
She surprised me as well when she played at Indian Wells vs Madison keys and ended up beating her.
She was a qualifier and has performed way beyond the expectations.
I had never seen/heard of Collins and then I saw her play in Indian Wells and was impressed by her game/tenacity. She's really improving and coming into her own. She made Osto work for this one. Great tournament for Collins. She keeps playing like this and her ranking is going to keep going up and she'll be winning a lot more matches.
Top 100 WTA that's a quite high level of newbie...
Axel Calin one of the few women to win NCAA championships twice... she's quite an experienced newbie if you ask me
Collins crumbled mentally when she lost the opportunity to take the first set. She tried to come back and I applaud her for that.
17sunnyhour Did she lose the first set at the last hour to Venus? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
newmennium Yeah
Gracias por el show
Ostapenko is such a beast, love her game. Can't wait for the final. Kinda think it'll be Stephens whose the steadier cleaner player, but Jelena with her back against the wall and she's downright frightening. Hope its an all out brawl
I don't like Ostapenko either. But now I started to like her.
Goodluck.😍
thank you so much i really appreciate you thanks for the comment and support
The next queen of tennis amazing and talented Ostapenko. Even Collins surprised me. Love them both.
Ayesha Sawalqah next queen? I think you need more than one slam for that at least. Lots of other players on the rise
Ostapenko must be one of the crab people, so that's where her insane innate strength is probably coming from...
US Open Champ vs French Open Champ. Will be a great final. Good to see some consistency from the slam winners (of the last 12months).
What consistency?
Both players have not been in any major final since their respective Grand Slam triumph in 2017.
She hasn't dropped a set yet ......
Ostapenko is the future of women's tennis
She has enough aggression already. And, stability would also come.
Let's see how she contends with Naomi Osaka on that
LMFAO Ostapenko will be irrelevant in a year
Sloane Stephens is our future. Get used to it.
Sloane Stephens will also be irrelevant after this year's US Open
Final between the graceful stroke maker Stephens vs the powerful attacking game of ostapenko
Who will be the winner?
My mind wants ostepenko to win but brain says Stephens will win 😂
Jays video tube Same.
I can"t wait it.
Stephens > Ostapenko.
How can you have a stupid mind and a brilliant brain? *Scratches head and scalp*
my brain says Ostapenko, my dick says Sloane
I was nervous in that first set, but I'm glad that Ostapenko pulled through. I'm hoping for an entertaining final
ambdance00 She's arrogant, I wanted Collins to win
newmennium lol dumb
Ben At least we all know Sloane Stephens will beat "Osta-stinko"
newmennium I could also say that Danielle Collins is arrogant, because of the cold way of looking into her eyes (or if she does not look at the way she greeted and looked at Venus Williams when she won, look a dry look, bitter and without desire) Danielle Collins lost because she is very temperamental, when a tennis player is like that, believe me everything goes wrong, if you don't control your emotions, it is a total disaster in her game and that will take its toll on her every time she plays against tennis players of the stature of Ostapenko.

newmennium LMAO, that comment seems to come from a child, grows a little, and writes adult stuff, please! 🤷🏻♂️
Good to see NCAA tennis players can fight against the top ten players.
VEry very nice JELENA KISS
I love ostapenko.. she is a future of women's tennis
Thanks for the love ❤️

People calling Ostapenko arrogant. There's nothing wrong with being arrogant. She's 20. Let her be
Collins has had the best week of her career, now 24 and going toe to toe with the best players in the world plus she's hot as can be and will become a millionaire soon!

She is a mindless baseline basher, no strategy at all. A clone of Sharapova with less grunt and better movement.
collins choked like most low ranked players do but she had a great run here cheers to that
I think she was tired.
Great showing from Collins. Biggest match of her career. Watched her at Indian Wells and her performance the past month has been amazing. She just ran into a grand slam champion playing perfect but Collins showed she belonged. She will win a slam. You heard it here first :)
I also heard it first from you that Bouchard will win a Slam...lol!
What happened?
Collins sure well proved the commentator wrong when she overpowered and outhit Osapenko to get set point in the first set. After that miss on set point she played oh so slightly more defensive which cost her the match but of course it is very hard physically and mentally to sustain that aggressive play.

fully agree!!!
Bravo Sweet Ostapenko.. !! I noticed Collins has about the same forehand(same style) with Sampras!!
Thank you so much for the comment and support ❤
Bummer was hoping for Collins to pull through. But congrats to Ostapenko for pulling out the tough win.
2:51 She lost the match right there.
Yes you go idooolll 👍👍👍👍

You know nothing about playing sports
Sharan Dsouza then don't barking here
17sunnyhour so you telling me Collins is an average playing reaching a Premier Semi? Why arent you on tour then it its so easy haha fat bitch
Would have loved to have seen some points in the tiebreak...
Ostapenko is like a storm.
During the French Open she was called a "latvian tornado" by some journalist :)
I didn't know it , but I agree :)
Then Stephens is like a hurricane.
Earlier in these highlights there was a point where Ostapenko was basically not even having to move because Collins was hitting everything right back at her, so it was like a shooting gallery...meanwhile collins was being run to each corner of the court.

Just waiting for Serena to be almost full fitness lol these new girls never stay up too long
apsveicu Jelena!
Ostapenko❤
Thank you so much for the love ❤️ and comments
Collins is hella good. She will be back.
オスタペンコ優勝や!!
OMG... congrats...stephane??? hmmm i think you'll the champion of miami open!!! i hope so !! congrats miss roland garros!!!! you did it !!!!!
Here after Danielle made the semis again. Aw, little 23 year old Danielle
Baby Face Ostapenko No Pushover on the Court. But I think USA got the 'Formula' with Sloane. Should be a great Final!
Ostapenko vs Stephens who do you pic? 🏆
nickelwindow53 ostapenko will win if she has the patience and can control the pressure...she has got the skill
happy traveller thanks for answering!
Osaka=Future Williams, Ostapenko=Future Sharapova, Stephens= Future Henin
OMG, please stop!
should WTA players get paid as much as ATP players?
Glad ostapenko came up with the win.......payback for Venus !!!! Lol
Lance Burley what had Venus goto do with this?? 🤔
That Collins knocked Venus out......now Collins is out...
Plays a lot like Safina.
This just shows that Collard Greens didn't do shit when she beat Venus. Venus is just lame and will lose to a sloth in a wheelchair on any given day...choking ass. Osterporisis beat Collard Greens in 2 sets. Great job.
Why do americans use male names for women? Daniel, Gabriel, etc?
Get a life.
?? It is a serious question. Wouldn't it be Daniela, Gabriela, etc?
I'm confused...
AnteDiluvian it would be yes
AnteDiluvian her name is Danielle.. that’s a female name
I don't want to sound nasty, but I can't find anything likable about Ostapenko compared to other well known players. Sure, she plays great and what not, I just can't grasp on her personality.
To say the least I am rooting for Stephens in the finals!
Anthony H completely agree
Agreed no star power!! Basic
Anthony H I know . She has a bratty , ugly personality.
You have quite an imagination. First get to that level of tennis and then we can talk. We in Latvia are very proud of her.
I have to say almost the opposite. Ostapenko's personality is so refreshing. Better than Svitolina - her star quality is a negative value. She has the ability to make anything trashy.
Hahaha she is out!
I wanted Collins to win.
Me too!!!!!!!!
White guy go to sleep...
Is ostapenko bulking? She looks bigger lately.
Lmfaoo
The female commentator is annoying. She needs to shut it up. Collins will win
Ostapupenko: Love her tennis, strongly dislike her personality.
ostapenko is always disgusting
