What Danielle Collins mentioned

The newest escapade from the Miami Open is a story about her canine pooping in entrance of a participant’s locker throughout her championship run at the 2024 Miami Open. Collins mentioned it was a participant she doesn’t like. She additionally mentioned the story had by no means been informed earlier than.

Everyone who has watched a jiffy of tennis in the previous three years know that Collins doesn’t like Iga Swiatek.

She has yelled at Swiatek on courtroom throughout their matches. As a member of tennis media, she has continued to thinly veil her excessive dislike for Swiatek.

I don’t have to see or hear her glee when Swiatek loses. It is unprofessional and unbecoming. The Tennis Channel employs many former gamers: Jim Courier, Lindsey Davenport, Chanda Rubin, and Martina Navratilova to call a few. None has ever behaved like this.
