Danielle Collins captured the Charleston Open title on Sunday with a dominant 6-2 6-1 victory over fourth seed Daria Kasatkina, extending her sensational winning run to 13 matches in her final season on the WTA Tour.

Danielle Collins captured the Charleston Open title on Sunday with a dominant 6-2 6-1 victory over fourth seed Daria Kasatkina, extending her sensational winning run to 13 matches in her final season on the WTA Tour. The 30-year-old American, who won her first Masters 1000 title at the Miami Open last month, wrapped up the one-sided contest in 77 minutes.
"Thank you to everyone who came up and support me. I feel at home playing here. Having this type of crowd really means a lot," Collins said. The 2022 Australian Open runner-up announced in January that she would be hanging up her racket this year in order to start a family.
"First of all I wanted to say I'm going to miss you (Danielle), you're such a character, your personality is amazing. I think tennis is going to lose a lot after your retirement, enjoy this moment," Kasatkina told the American during the presentation ceremony.
