Caroline Dolehide defeated Danielle Collins 1–6, 7–5, 6–4 in the first round of the US Open on hard court on 27 August 2024, overturning significant pre-match odds as a substantial underdog at 5.88 against Collins's 1.17 favourite status. After losing the opening set decisively, Dolehide recovered to claim the next two sets in competitive fashion, demonstrating the mental resilience required to overturn such a disparity in expectations. The comeback victory represents a notable upset and provides Dolehide with momentum heading into the second round, whilst Collins's failure to convert her favoured status will require assessment of her form moving forward in the tournament.
