Danielle Collins went to Melbourne without a win since July last year, but with a new on-court scandal. During the United Cup, the American treated Iga Świątek rudely, with whom she has been in conflict (at least in her opinion) since their clash at the Olympic Games. Afterwards, the American bragged about her stupidity, adding the comment “new year, old me” on Instagram, for which she was severely criticized.

Collins won for the first time since the Olympics

The above-mentioned games in Paris were also the last tournament during which Collins won a match. She then defeated Camilla Osorio in the 1/8 finals, and in the quarterfinals she lost against Świątek in the third set. Since then, we have only seen her on the court five times, always as a loser. Until the fight with Daria Snigur. Although the 22-year-old Ukrainian is only the 138th racket in the world, Collins had to put in some effort. Especially in the first set, which lasted exactly one hour, and was won by the American 7:6(4). In the second, she did slightly better and sealed the triumph (7:6 (4), 6:3).

Collins, however, wouldn't be herself if she hadn't become famous after the match for, let's call it, an “extra” reason. In the post-match interview, when asked about her feelings about the game, the American gave a rather surprising and twisted answer. – I feel like I should be in bed at this time. I'm glad I didn't fall asleep at this time. I love these night games and the energy shared by the fans. I'm definitely not a night owl, though, Collins said.

Collins' interview caused a storm. “I feel like every single thing she says is weird.”

The famous Portuguese journalist and tennis expert Jose Morgado did not do half-measures and called the entire interview “awkward” on the X website. This triggered a whole avalanche of comments among fans, who also showed no mercy for Collins.

“I feel like every interview of hers is weird”, “She's just weird”, “She could have kept her word and actually retired last season”, “I think we're all just fed up with her” – these are some of the opinions fans.

Let us recall that a year ago, during the Australian Open, Collins planned to retire from sports after last season for health reasons (she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis, which makes it much more difficult to get pregnant). However, good results, especially in the first half of the year, prompted her to continue playing. Now she is getting ready for the second round of AO, in which she will face Australian Destanee Aiava.
