Daniello Rose Collins of the United States will battle Elena-Gabriela Ruse of Romania in the second round of the 2025 Italian Open on Thursday.
Collins will be playing her first match since conceding her Charleston Open title to Jessica Pegula 1-6 6-3 6-0 in the quarterfinal of that tournament almost a month ago. The American carries a 68 percent win rate on clay and has two titles won on the surface: the 2021 Palermo Ladies Open and the 2024 Charleston Open.
Ruse has won three in a row, including a 6-7(10) 6-4 6-2 win over Polina Kudermetova on Tuesday, to reach the second round of the 2025 Italian Open. The Romanian parades a 16-7 record this season, though most of her wins came from either qualifying matches or WTA challenger tournaments.

Our Danielle Collins vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse Prediction
Get me Danielle Rose Collins to win 2-0 on Thursday. Collins will likely come out a bit rusty since this is her first match in almost a month, but I am confident she will get this victory in two sets against Ruse, who has had a dogfight in her last match against Polina Kudermetova. Collins and Ruse are 1-1 in their head-to-head series, yet the American won their previous encounter 6-4 6-2 in the final of the Palermo Ladies Open. Our betting prediction for Danielle Rose Collins vs. Elena-Gabriela Ruse: Danielle Rose Collins 2-0.
