She's lost the decider in straight sets to homegrown hero Ash Barty.
Collins made her first ever Grand Slam final in Melbourne this year, bettering her previous best result at a major, which was a semifinal berth at the 2019 Australian Open.
For Barty, she's the first Aussie woman to win a Grad Slam on home soil since Chris O'Neil in 1978.
