Danielle Collins is poised to become America's next big tennis star after overcoming crippling endometriosis and rheumatoid arthritis to reach the women's final — her first chance at winning a Grand Slam title. The 27th-seeded player will take on Australian tennis star, No. 1 ranked Ash Barty, in her first major final after defeating Iga Swiatek of Poland in the semifinals on Thursday in just under 80 minutes. The 28-year-old's 6-4 6-1 victory over the 7th seeded Swiatek took place less than a year after she had a tennis ball-sized cyst removed from her uterus following her endometriosis diagnosis.
