Kenin, who is seeking a second Grand Slam title after winning the Australian Open in January, broke Collins to lead 3-2 in the first set on Court Philippe Chatrier.
The 22-year-old held on to her advantage to pocket the set 6-4 after 46 minutes
It was a case of deja vu in the second. But this time Collins broke straight back for 3-3.
And she went on to level the match when Kenin pushed a forehand long.
But that was as good as it got for the 26-year-old. Collins collapsed in the decider as Kenin powered her way into the semi-finals after just over two hours.
Short and sweet 😂

Kevin will next take on the seventh seed Petra Kvitova, who was a straight sets winner on Wednesday over the unseeded German Laura Siegemund.
The 29-year-old Czech has won both of their encounters, one on the hard courts at the Miami Masters in 2018 and the second last year on clay at the Madrid Masters.
