My Prediction
Collins in 3 sets.Alright folks, we've got Danielle Collins and Elena-Gabriela Ruse duelling it out in the Internazionali d'Italia. Now, let's look at the brass tacks. Collins is walking into this round with the seed number 29, and Ruse is, uh, well let's just say she's yet to climb the seeding ladder.
Now, if you've still got some leftover peeps from Easter, you may notice Ruse is coming off a hot streak, winning three matches in a row in May. Collins, on the other hand, is teetering more on the "meh" side with her recent mixed bag of results. However, a seasoned tennis watcher would know that she's been up against a tougher lineup, which might explain her .500 batting average. In tennis, we love a good challenge, don't we?
But this ain't rounders. So, we'll lean on the wisdom of the ages - or whatever it is the folks who determine the payouts rely on - and give a nod to Collins. Yes, Ruse is riding a wave, but waves tend to crash, and with a higher payout for Ruse's victory, it's clear that they're digging Collins' mojo.
Albert's Prediction: Collins in 3 sets.
