Iga Swiatek suffered a shock elimination from the Italian Open on Saturday as the reigning Rome champion was dumped out by Danielle Collins 6-1, 7-5. 

World No.2 Swiatek was hunting a fourth title at the Foro Italico, but failed to get past the third round of the last major tournament before the French Open.
 
Collins will now face one of Elina Svitolina or fellow American Hailey Baptiste in the last-16 as the World No.35 hunts an unlikely second WTA 1000 title.
 
Swiatek’s early exit is a major shock for the Pole who usually dominates her rivals on clay.
