Danielle Collins vs Caroline Dolehide prediction and odds: US Open 2024

It’s always fun to see two players from the same country facing off in a Grand Slam on their home turf. That’s precisely why I’ve decided to conjure up a few tennis predictions today for Collins vs Dolehide, as the game should be an interesting one to watch. Check out the specifics below.

Our favourite Danielle Collins vs Caroline Dolehide predictions

What a battle we have on our hands here! Danielle Collins is making her final US Open appearance, while Caroline Dolehide is hoping to spoil the party against the 11th seed. It should be a high-quality contest, whatever happens, but in my opinion, the following two markets show the best value from a betting perspective:

Collins to win 2-0 @ 11/20 (1.55)

Given the way that she’s performed in 2024, and since this is her final US Open, I can see Collins taking down Dolehide in straight sets. She’s definitely the better player on her day, and if she gets on top early, this one could go her way with ease.

Collins -5.5 games handicap @ 13/20 (1.65)

Assuming Collins gets on top and starts using her forehand like we all know she can, a -5.5 games handicap feels realistic. And given that the odds for this market are better than the first one, of course, the potential return is better.

Battle of the Americans – who will reach round two?

Check out my previews for the two Americans before they do battle at the US Open on Tuesday.

Danielle Collins preview

Collins announced at the start of 2024 that this would be her last professional season on tour. But since that announcement, she’s played the tennis of her life, capturing several big titles earlier in the year. Of course, she will be incredibly motivated to keep this going at what will be her final US Open appearance. And for me, the 11th seed has all of the right weapons needed to beat Dolehide.

Caroline Dolehide preview

Dolehide isn’t quite a newcomer, but it’s not like she is a veteran of the WTA Tour. She is ranked 49 right now, which is enough for a main draw spot, but it’s much lower than Collins’ ranking of 11. This paints a picture of the level difference between these two, although it can always get interesting when individuals from the same nation compete.

Collins vs Dolehide head to head

Collins is most certainly the dominant force here when assessing the head to head records. She holds a 5-1 lead over her fellow American, which is commanding. Of course, this also impacts the likelihood that Collins will be the one to get the win here and march on to the second round.
