Danielle Collins (11th WTA) does not let herself be forgotten. After she called Iga Świątek (2nd WTA) “fake” during the Olympic Games in Paris, and after greeting the 23-year-old before the United Cup final, she ostentatiously made a grimace, later, even more exciting on the Internet. And now he is reaping the “fruits”.
Danielle Collins lost and it started. Dawid Celt briefly
In the WTA 500 tournament in Adelaide, the fourth-seeded American met Ons Jabeur (WTA 40) in the first round. And even though she was leading 5:3 (30-30), she lost the first game as well as the second one and quickly said goodbye to the competition. Which made Polish fans rather happy.
“Ons Jabeur defeated Danielle Collins 7:6 (6), 6:2 and advanced to the second round of the WTA 500 in Adelaide, where she will play with Yulia Putintseva. For the American, this is the sixth consecutive defeat in singles. She has been waiting for a win since the end of July. Bad The series began with a draw in a meeting with Iga Świątek at the Olympic Games in Paris,” summarized on the Z kortu profile on the X website. Dawid Celt briefly responded to the entry. “And very good,” he commented, adding an emoticon of a tense biceps.
Dawid Celt summed up by Danielle Collins. Fans agree
The 39-year-old did not play diplomacy, which netizens liked. “There are so many languages in the world, and Mr. Dawid Celt chose the language of facts”, “karma returns”, “that's how it is!”, “That's it” – we read in the comments under his entry.

Despite everything, Celt's behavior is not particularly surprising. After all, he has worked with Świątek many times, either as the captain of the Polish women in the last Billie Jean King Cup finals, or as the captain of the Polish team in the United Cup 2023 (together with Agnieszka Radwańska). And for that reason alone, he doesn't have to feel sympathy for Collins.
After the rapid defeat in Adelaide, the American needs to prepare as best as she can for the Australian Open. Her conqueror, Jabeur, will play Putintseva in the second round. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, January 8, and will be the third one on Court No. 1.
