MOSCOW, May 10. American tennis player Danielle Collins courted a Russian woman Anna Blinkova, who was injured during their head-to-head confrontation in the second round of the WTA 1000 series tournament in Rome.
Collins won the first set with a score of 6:4, and at the beginning of the second set Blinkova injured her ankle. After a medical examination, the Russian woman decided to withdraw from the game.
