Danielle Collins has been the biggest enemy for Polish people in recent months fans tennis. The American fell into disrepute already during the Olympic Games in Paris, when… match she had a grudge against Iga Świątek, whom she called insincere. But she didn't stop there. On the occasion of the recent United Cup 2025 final Poland – USA, the 31-year-old treated our representative very badly while greeting both teams. She offered Iga her hand very reluctantly, making a dismissive face at the same time. What's more, the American later bragged about it on social media, even setting a photo with the mentioned expression as her profile picture on Instagram.
Collins wanted to forget everything. And then came the United Cup
Already then, the 31-year-old was criticized, but her situation became even worse after Canal+ Sport released the third episode of the second season of the documentary “The Four Seasons of Iga”, which is, of course, about Świątek. This episode discusses, among others: Polish woman and Collins clash in Paris. The American woman herself speaks there and, as it seemed, expressed remorse. – I hope we can forget about it. Compete in harmony and be the best versions of yourself. I try to be the best person I can be. Sometimes it doesn't work out, Collins said.
So what made the fans so angry? The fact that Danielle's statement comes from the time when the tournament was taking place WTA Finals 2024, i.e. from November. So it turns out that the same Collins, who then apologized and appealed for the Paris matter to be forgotten, two months later showed her reluctance to Iga again, treating her simply rudely.
Fans ruthless for Collins. “Hypocrisy at a high level”
Fans clearly saw this as hypocrisy. The comments on the X website are brutal for the American woman. “Forget about the matter? It's the exact opposite of what she's been doing since the beginning of the season”, “Should we move on? She's the only one who can't let go in this situation”, “So she says something like that while during United Cup is doing exactly the opposite? Interesting…” – these are just some of the fans' opinions.
Another thing is that something like this by Collins doesn't surprise anyone anymore. “Yes, she has definitely forgotten everything. Again, she is as insincere as possible. But this is nothing new”, “Hypocrisy at a high level. Again” – the fans brutally assessed.
