Tennis sensation Aryna Sabalenka has stormed into the quarterfinals of the Miami Open 2025 after her stellar win over defending champion Danielle Collins with a scoreline of 6-4, 6-4 to end her Florida run. Collins is one of the most formidable players, having won the Miami Open 2024 after a thrilling win over Elena Rybakina but failing to defend her title here.

After that, the 26-year-old tennis star continued her dominant display, sealed the serves, and took advantage of Collins's unforced errors in the game to knock her out of the WTA 1000 tournament.

"I would say that at the Australian Open I was serving not very well. So after the Open, we were working a lot on my serve to get back the shot, to get back on track with the serve. I'm super happy with the way I'm serving right now, and I think against Danielle I served really smart. At some moment I was just going as hard as possible, and I was making those faces, but mostly I think it was pretty smart serving from me. Yeah, I'm happy to see my serve back," said Sabalenka.
