2018: Breakthrough and top 50

Collins began the year with a spirited run to the third of the qualifying rounds at the Australian Open, being outclassed by Denisa Allertová, who ultimately reached the fourth round, 6–0, 6–1 in just 45 minutes there.

Nonetheless, Collins continued to ride on her momentum and took advantage of her wildcard at the WTA 125K tournament at Newport Beach, upsetting the odds and stormed to claim the title which then saw her rise to a career-high ranking of 120.

Collins had her first major breakthrough by winning her first-ever WTA match against compatriot Taylor Townsend before stunning world No. 14 Madison Keys in straight sets, followed by a victory over Sofya Zhuk. Although her run ended in the fourth-round to former world No. 6 Carla Suárez Navarro, Danielle made her long-awaited top-100 debut with her impressive form, jumping from No. 117 to 93.

Getting through the qualifying rounds at the Miami Open, Danielle shocked world No. 37 Irina-Camelia Begu 6–1, 6–1 before upsetting two-time Grand Slam semifinalist CoCo Vandeweghe in three sets.
Incredible victories over Monica Puig and Donna Vekić followed, before the American earned the biggest victory of her career against her idol, former world No. 1 and seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams, who was the eighth-ranked player coming into their encounter.

Due to this success, Collins became the first qualifier in history to reach the semifinals at the Miami Open. Collins then faced sixth seeded Jeļena Ostapenko and lost in straight sets despite having a set point in the first set. After making it to the quarterfinals in Monterrey, she broke into the top 50 for the first time, now as No. 35.

Collins’s rise continued at the Australian Open, after winning a tough three-set match in the first round against 14th-seeded Julia Görges. She won three consecutive matches in straight sets, first against Sachia Vickery and then against 19th-seeded Caroline Garcia.

In the round of 16, Collins had the biggest upset of the tournament as she dominated the No. 2 seed and three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber, winning 6–0 6–2 to reach her first major quarterfinal against unseeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

Danielle Collins began the quarterfinal match slowly, losing the first set 6-2 against her Russian opponent, but fought back strongly to win the match in three sets, 2-6 7-5 6-1, consequently earning her a place in the semifinals.
