“It’s been an incredible experience. I’m so grateful to be here in Melbourne. I definitely played some tournaments in some strange places the first year that I turned pro. I’m really just grateful to be out here doing what I love and playing in front of a good crowd.”

Collins ranked 35 took the first set off the reigning Wimbledon champion in just 20 minutes while Kerber struggled to keep up with the attack. She smacked 29 winners to stun three-time major winner Kerber.

She will now face either Sloane Stephens or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova,  who will face each other on Sunday evening.
