Shelby Rogers upsets 9th seed Danielle Collins in 2nd round of French Open

PARIS (AP) - Australian Open runner-up Danielle Collins is the latest top-10 women’s seed to exit the French Open.

In a battle of Americans, Lowcountry native Shelby Rogers upset 9th-seeded Collins 6-4, 6-3 to reach the third round at Roland Garros for the first time since 2017.

Collins is the seventh top-10 seed to lose.
