They’ve been telling us for the last couple of years that this is what tennis needs. Personality and drama. Now the same people are clutching their pearls LOL. It’s so misogyny-coded. It’s only OK when men do it. Finally someone gave it back to the diabolical crowd. Good on you Danielle. Ignore the incoming overly sensitive outrage.
In my opinion there would be a huge outrage if some of the men stars would talk about playing tennis just for the money and spending it on boats and five star vacations. People don't like her because she's unlikable and full of herself end of the story.
It’s got nothing to do with misogyny so please don’t go there. All the players that have “personality and drama” have the fans turn against them, especially in front of a partisan crowd. Kyrgios, Medvedev and the like get it too so let’s stop complaining. Act disrespectfully, you open yourself to being criticised.
Melbourne is like a little bubble of nice people and the rest of the country is a bit nasty especially Sydney and Brisbane. That's what I have found travelling around the last few week. The tennis vibe in Melbourne is really great wish it was like that at the US open. The cafes and shops staff have all been really friendly and helpful so don't be. too alarmed about Melbourne that was a bad crowd and Ive seen them like this even at austere Wimbledon, but your city is a really great place
@@johnrofsocalgroover2645 Yeah, it's lovely. It's a bit strange to me for people to boo someone at the tennis. Unless they have done something terrible. It's funny that I am a Collingwood supporter in the AFL and they booed the player Lance "Buddy" Franklin when he had the ball. In the Collingwood fan's defence, the other team was trying to rough up the young Collingwood star, Nick Daicos and the crowd was having a good time because Collingwood was winning the game. Franklin was struggling to get anything done and similar to American Football the crowd was happy to see the opposition star not doing well. But after the game the Sydney Swans coach, John Longmire was saying that he didn't think that they should be booing such a champion player. "Why would you boo him?" he asked at the press conference. Then the Collingwood coach Craig McRae said that he would not boo and he would not teach people to do that. And that's football. But back to the tennis, I like that American chic. Now.. My Baltimore Ravens just lost to the Buffalo Bills. But my love to Josh Allen and the KC Chiefs also. Now I just want the AFC championship winner to win the Superbowl. And Josh Allen had "Choose Love" written on the back of his helmet. And that was football. 🏈 🇺🇸 So that's why I am saying that I am ashamed of the booing of the American tennis player. They should just be cheering for their favourite, it's not cricket. Last time in England the drunken toffs were booing the Australian team. 😆 And I was pretty angry at the time. Even the Prime Ministers were arguing over the incident that caused the booing. The English were wrong by the way. But you can look into yourself if you want. Um, it was Australia vs England at Lords.
Danielle Collins, like her or hate her, didn’t necessarily deserve that kind of crowd response. Then again, after watching her interview following the match, it’s clear she’s made a bit of a rod for her own back moving forward. Her fiery demeanor on the court and sharp comments off it might rub some people the wrong way, and while it’s part of what makes her a fierce competitor, it can also fuel negative reactions from the crowd. That said, there’s a fine line between passionate support and outright disrespect, and it feels like the crowd crossed it. Whether you’re a fan of Collins or not, no player should have to deal with that level of hostility-it’s not what tennis is about. At the same time, players also have to be mindful of how their actions and words can influence the atmosphere. It’ll be interesting to see how Collins handles things in the future, both with her game and how she interacts with fans. Aussie tennis crowds have traditionally been super respectful toward players from all over the world. But ever since players like Nick Kyrgios brought their “bogan” style and attitude to the game, it feels like the crowd’s behavior has shifted too. It’s something I’ve been saying about sports in general, but especially tennis-when players are allowed to attack officials without serious consequences, why is anyone surprised when the crowd starts behaving the same way? It’s time for tennis to crack down on players who disrespect officials because we’re now seeing that behavior spill over into how crowds treat players. It's just not a good look for Australian tennis.
This all comes from not Nick but from the mobile phone troll mentality. People are paying to watch good athletics but some people confuse that with trolling and cheering players.
I care very little for sports but still know enough that I was very surprised by the atmosphere that I witnessed in not just this match, but also during Kokkinskis match on Monday. Chanting and jeering is the kind of thing I'd expect from a AFL game, but not tennis.
@@uDave247 There's a long tradition of that sort of crowd behaviour in tennis. Matches in Davis Cup (a team event between different countries) used to be extremely partisan. And sticking to the major tennis tournaments, this happens routinely at the US Open and Australian Open, and also at the French Open depending on which players are on court (and which countries they represent). The only crowd that is stereotypically "tennis" is the Wimbledon crowd.
Aussies love to give it to players irrespective of the sport. when they receive it back, they can't take it. She's right, they're really paying her bills. Love her attitude.
Hers and the other 60 players who played yesterday. This court can be accessed by an overall Ground Pass. She couldn't even make the three main courts even against an Aussie. She got a very small piece of that pie.
Coco said in her press conference when they asked her about Danielles personality and she laughed 😂 and said Danielle is Danielle if you know you know😂😂😂. So she came live tonight 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Love Danielle's mindset. Go live your best life queen. She used their energy to get the win. She'll keep using the energy to navigate her career. Keep on shining Danielle. We love your authenticity and game. She's a champion. She's been to the final of a slam and won masters 1000. Say what you like she's a champion. She earned her way to be here. No one complains when Medvedev, Nick, Novak and others vandalize the courts. But when Danielle blows kisses at those who are booing her everyone gets righteous. Love her whole vibe!
Not your typical responses at a post-match press conference😅 - which is great for the sport. Danielle basically said she loves the energy of the jeering crowd & uses it as motivation. And she does respect the crowd because - in the end - they pay for her vacations!😅
She was playing a local player, what was strange about the crowd supporting her opponent ? Danielle lost me when she was trying to get Sakkari DQ ed for accidentally hitting a ball boy, she is not a good person
I am going to show this to my daughter! She cares a lot about what people say and I am glad Danielle makes it so clear - I dont care. Not my issue to carry. I love it and respect her for this attitude.
Ha ha love. If she didn't care, why act like a child after the game for? Show it to your daughter as an example of a professional sportsperson who is full of ****.
Danielle is not a good role model for your daughter. The fact u feel this way, is a concern. Danielle's reaction was disgusting and classless, to beating Destanee: someone who nearly took her life due to mental health battles and pressure of being a young prodigy. Thats the reason the crowd was cheering so hard for Destanee - becos of her heartwrencing backstory - not to spite Collins. Its narcissistic for Collins to think the crowd revolved around hating on her. All she talks about is money and big paychecks. That tells u anough about her character. Think over what ive said now, before choosing Collins as a role model for your young daughter.
Danielle is a great role model..follow your own path. She is a non-conventional tennis player who did not go to some fancy expensive academy and she was even more dirt poor than Serena Williams. And she is enjoying life and will have a lot of fun kids and everybody who doesn't like her can go stuff it
Collin was interviewed on Andy Roddick's podcast Served last year and shared her past struggles with mental health. She's had to overcome mental health issues and personal challenges in her life. Kudo's to her for not letting the audience get under her skin.
@@sweatshirts623With all the money she has I'd be surprised if she didn't. Still doesn't just magically fix everything though, at most it just makes it a tiny bit easier to deal with.
@@sweatshirts623 Regardless if she did or didn't, at the end of the day, Collins, like all the other players, take a paycheck home regardless of our opinion of them.
iconic press conference!! I'm always really impressed by how players deal with those hostile situation...! (Fritz RG 2023, Meddy USO 2019 and now this!!!) You need that kinda really strong mentality to reach the top, don't you!🔥
Yeah, that was what I was thinking too, based on how she appeared to shift gears during the on-court interview. She was going to say something about her opponent as you usually do, only to get cut off by the booing so she decides to just run/roll with it which seems like the smart thing to do all things considered. As much as I personally wanted Avaia to win, that doesn't mean I'm going to disrespect her opponent simply because she played a better match.
@@uDave247 Collins was "disrespected simply because she played a better match."? Is that really what happened? Because I think her mocking celebration aimed at the crowd just seconds before the interview started had something to do with it?
Collins did nothing wrong. She could've given the crowd the finger and it would've been ok. Kyrgios did much worse in the sport in the years he played.
Shame on ch7. They always paint the player as if they're doing the wrong thing. The crowd were cheering when she double faulted, they booed when she won the match, but ch7 never mentioned this poor behavior from the crowd. Instead ch7 made her look like she's mentally ill or something.
Loved that she took the negativity from the crowd to motivate her. Loved her positive attitude and determination and did not make negative comments about the crowd- professional tennis could use more of this!!
Being the bad girl or good girl is great for the sport. In the end John McEnroe is making more money than Borg. Both in the end are amazing players and people. John is funny as hell. Danielle is too
I just love this study. The stress of performing at this level in front of thousands of hostile fans- they're paying my bills- what you tell yourself to make it happen.
I am a huge Danielle Collins fan but her behaviour post match was immature and lacked class...The Fans clearly upset her but she should have risen above it
I think she cares. If she didn’t, she would have acted differently. She wouldn’t be bothered. Not strong but weak and rude. I guess fat pay check can buy you a 5* hotel but there are far more important things which you cannot buy for all the money in the world.
She won the match so her attitude helped lol..its battle they play to win not to be be a push over right. Someone heckles you you give it back in your way.
Oh please. The fans don't have a right to be awful and disrespectful so they got what they gave. Good on Danielle. Respect is a 2 way street. She Shut them right up. 👏
Let's not ignore the elephant in the room - she's an attractive, confident and articulate white woman. Those factors pretty much make her public enemy number one by default in a woke country like Australia, especially given she was playing a woman of colour. She held her nerve relatively well during the match and gave it to the crowd - mostly bogans - at the end and reminded them of the fact they're paying to hate on her. We need more like her in the game, not least of all because it's just refreshing to see a woman playing women's tennis for a change.
The elephant in the room is that she enjoys winding people up because that gives her energy. She's at her best when in a confrontation. And if she can't get it from her opponent she'll get it from the crowd. She's been doing it for years, all around the world.
The crowd was cheering loudly for one of their own which is typical. The kiss my ass gesture was nasty work but I guess she gets a pass for rude obnoxious behavior.
There are a lot of outsiders looking in here. People aren’t seeing that Collins was very unsportsmanlike throughout the entire match, taking a tactical medical time out when she was clearly not injured, screaming after each shot for a whole game just to throw Aiava off her focus and showing no etiquette between losing points. Also, the crowd only started booing her after she started taunting them. Until then, it was nothing out of the ordinary. If you can’t deal with a crowd who’s not supporting you, then don’t play in front of them.
? Don't play in front of them? She won. She got the last laugh. Maybe she won't next game, but it's her day. Injury timeouts are an unfortunate part of tennis. Most do it. To act like she's the ringleader and only one who does it is silly. She talked the talk and walked the walk today. As noted, she and her girls will enjoy the check. Boo!
Taking an unnecessary medical time-out? What are your thoughts on someone like Djokovic, who had cheated throughout his entire career by faking injury, taking extended bathroom breaks and medical time-outs? What's good for the goose......
I know very little about tennis, but I don't think a single match makes a martyr. It will remain to be seen how she chooses to act in other situations.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Players enjoy their successes along the way. In a tournament, you enjoy your progress through the tournament. When and if you lose, it's a disappointment. Moreover, she answered the vitriol of fans.
Good sportsmanship goes both ways. Viewers expect it from the players but don't expect it from themselves? C'mon. I wish crowds could be better but that's obviously too much to ask of drunk-booing spectators.
the crowd is supposed to be booing her because she beat an aussie..thats natural..but it clearly got under her skin and her reaction to the crowd like that only gave it more visibility…
What an absolute cringelord discussing paychecks on tour, especially in that way. I listened to interviews/post game presses and not a single time has a player brought up money. Never disappoints the amount of cringe, from telling Sakkari to shut her mouth twice, to yelling at umpires and calling them names, to now gesturing to the crowd to kiss her ass and telling the crowd they pay for her 5 star vacations.
@dous1492 No it really isn't, it's cringe, she's cringe and she definitely suffers from mental illness. She may be worse than Krygios with how often she gets into arguments with other players. You forget when she had some words with someone than shortly later beat her in the finals and stated, "I was just wishing her well with her injury", she is so full of shitt.
I'm an even bigger Danielle fan now. Why should she let a bunch of drunk hecklers ruin her chances of winning the match? She's feisty, she stands up for herself, and she uses the negative energy around her in her favor. Good for her. Oh, and go NOVAK!
if Nole goes through Carlos / Alex / Sinner at 37 they'll have to come up with a new word for 'miracle' and 'greatness'. He's won it ten times, why not?
Very proud of Danielle on how she handled the raucous Aussie crowd, who was soo rude and noisy when she tried to play her game. Excellent way of handling herself in front of a highly biased audience against her.
Not a Collins fan, but I enjoyed seeing her expressing herself the way she did. Been playing tennis for 30 years and played with a booing audience, if you did not play in these conditions you cannot judge. To play with pain and having to put up with that crowd, I would have been even less gratious.
No one bought a ticket to “heckle you.” Get over yourself. You were playing an Aussie, in Australia. Plenty of players have faced the same situation, dealt with a hostile crowd, but still managed to handle themselves with more class and grace than you did.
If the crowd is classless, why is she supposed to ‘’have class’’? Plus tennis really needs that, probably the only sport where there is no trash talk or actual rivalries in sports, except the big 3 obv. Situations like this really improve the tennis ratings believe me😂 Djokovic doing Ben Shelton’s celebration is probably the most viral tennis moment for the last 3 years, yall just can’t accept Danielle went against everyone and still won😌
@@Lalith333 and around 2.3 million more career earnings than u😂, she won a masters, she’s not afraid of anyone on tour! Are Zverev, Grigor and those guys irrelevant since they have as much GS as u too?!
I have been following Danielle Collins for a few years now. I admire her grit, her fighting spirit; the fire that she brings to the court. We need more players like her. Go Danielle!
Tennis matches can be stressful, things like this can happen to anyone, professionals, club players. I don't think she's a bad person nor that she did something out of this world. We have seen it over and over again because tennis makes almost everyone a little bit crazy. What surprises me and worries me the most is that after the match she tried to say that this is a good show and good for the sport for some weird reason she made up in the moment. If there's where the world is going right now, we should all be worried. If I were her, I'd just apologize, say that it was an outburst which came from being completely stressed out in that moment, and that's it. Btw, haters don't pay tennis players... prize money and sponsors are more than enough to pay any vacation she needs, any time she wants for the rest of her life. Being rude to a home crowd who is just supporting the underdog in a second round match is just a bad thing for the image of the player and for the sport.
Interesting way of looking at the negativity. She's playing well. Had a fantastic comeback in the rankings last year. Glad she decided to continue. If she's winning, why not keep playing right? A resilient and mentally strong person. Good luck Danielle.
She said that she loves these kind of hostile environments, but it seemed like it got under her skin after all. And probably the heckling would have affected most players
moaning about the crowd? every question being posed to her is about the crowd lol. should she all of a sudden talk about her love for those drunk aussies?
She probably doesn't care, which I doubt, but the part she doesn't get is that comments like that will follow her entire life. And that's probably not something that you want to be remembered.
I agree with the comment that thugs like Kyrgios have encouraged bad behaviour from the crowd.Full marks to you Danelle for playing so well and having the guts to show the crowd you weren’t fazed by their appalling behaviour.This crowd don’t come for the enjoyment of the game of tennis,but to give Australians the worst reputation the world over.Thanks Kyrgios.
PS What is so difficult about giving a microphone to the journalists asking questions? This muting of the questions has been going on for years now across virtually all the tournaments..
she looks like most women her age without make-up hair done and every filter ever invented turned up to max. she's just played a pro tennis match. have you ever played pro tennis?
People are starving. California is on fire. Ukraine is getting slaughtered. And here you are talking about your dream vacation in the Bahamas. I'm embarrassed we are from the same country.
Didn’t watch the whole match but saw her reaction after. Obviously it’s an overreaction if the crowd was simply cheering for the other side loudly but if they were being rude, cheering in the middle of her serves, shit talking her, etc. that’s totally different
she still does not get it but karma will deliver it all back! sad to see the arrogance&weakness confused with confidence&integrity! real strengh is in respecting everybody and being humble
@jagalskarvarlden we aren't talking about me tho are we moron. Default 'what have you achieved' generic reply. Doesn't change the fact shes a bang average player
She's had a successful career as a professional. Not every is meant to be great and win slams. As long as she is breaking even and saving some, plus the highlights like AO semi final and then again final and wins like Miami plus other three titles is a great career that many pros don't have. Plus she has niche fan base like us and her own support system. She's had a successful life and career that many others didn't have
Her antics and attitude is why she can only be sponsored by some Sushi train. Crowd was tame compared to Kokk's match. Also a bit of a pot - kettle - black, considering the crowds at the US Open when an American is playing. What did she expect?
Since she changed her mind and decided not to retire yet she is playing with no pressure and it's safe to say she doesn't give a fck anymore. To be honest, I think all the girls on the tour are big fat liars. The rivalries are real and there are no friends. They are all running for the same prizes so no friendships. Being real is not a crime.
As a male tennis fan Ito dont care to watch womens matches. I just prefer the power and speed and duration of the mens matches. But there have been some great story lines on the womens side this tournament that add some spice which is great and would be more interested in watching the likes of Danielle Collins, and the Lucky Loser Eva Lys.
She should have had the UMPIRE do their job!! It should not be up to the player to quiet the crowd. They take a nice paycheck to just sit there. Everyone needed to calm the hell down, and learn how to behave in public.
@@JCStorm76 That went to so many other players too. How many players played yesterday across mens, womens and doubles? 60+? By the way this is only the Kia. She could even make the three main courts even against an Aussie!

Like her grit. Like her attitude. Used the negativey as motivation!
But then lost her next match.
@kerosene4751 she was never likely to go deep. Still love the attitude.

@@uDave247 Collins was "disrespected simply because she played a better match."? Is that really what happened? Because I think her mocking celebration aimed at the crowd just seconds before the interview started had something to do with it?
Collins did nothing wrong. She could've given the crowd the finger and it would've been ok. Kyrgios did much worse in the sport in the years he played.
She's been doing this for years.. Some of this stems back to what a poor loser she was in the 2022 final.
She did nothing wrong but boy, she just embarrassed herself.
It's funny Danielle mobilize so much haters. Because she's actually very conscious. She has a interesting personality.
An interesting rude personality
@@Panthersleeawesome personality. Go cry about it
@@Pantherslee 1000%
it's a terrible personality how can you possibly justify it. conscious? ya consciously everything you shouldn't be 😂
She is the hater.
Danielle, HUGE RESPECT from Serbia! Danielle the queen!
That is why they call her Danimal she is real fighter blocking out hecklers in crowd.
Shame on ch7. They always paint the player as if they're doing the wrong thing. The crowd were cheering when she double faulted, they booed when she won the match, but ch7 never mentioned this poor behavior from the crowd. Instead ch7 made her look like she's mentally ill or something.
Loved that she took the negativity from the crowd to motivate her. Loved her positive attitude and determination and did not make negative comments about the crowd- professional tennis could use more of this!!
Yes like Novak.
she "doesn't care" about the crowd but then spends the whole presser talking about it...
That’s all what they asked her
Yeah exactly
half the presser, and that's because they asked her about it.
If the crowd can’t handle it, maybe they shouldn’t dish it out. So fragile and sensitive
@ Collins clearly can't handle it.
Being the bad girl or good girl is great for the sport. In the end John McEnroe is making more money than Borg. Both in the end are amazing players and people. John is funny as hell. Danielle is too
I love her honesty, wishing her well going forward into AO
GIVE EM HELL DANIELLE!!!!!!!! 😂❤
I just love this study. The stress of performing at this level in front of thousands of hostile fans- they're paying my bills- what you tell yourself to make it happen.
We love you here in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 come on down 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Keep her there please . If you like rude people she's just the lady for you
Collins is different man. Leave her alone.
I am a huge Danielle Collins fan but her behaviour post match was immature and lacked class...The Fans clearly upset her but she should have risen above it
I think she cares. If she didn’t, she would have acted differently. She wouldn’t be bothered. Not strong but weak and rude. I guess fat pay check can buy you a 5* hotel but there are far more important things which you cannot buy for all the money in the world.
She won the match so her attitude helped lol..its battle they play to win not to be be a push over right. Someone heckles you you give it back in your way.
Yeah can tell her response is her saying it enough until she believes it herself. You can see it in her face.
Oh please. The fans don't have a right to be awful and disrespectful so they got what they gave. Good on Danielle. Respect is a 2 way street. She Shut them right up. 👏
@ oh please everyone knows how unpleasant she is. Unbearable to most of the tennis fans. Maybe she finally got what she’s been giving.
She does care and my hat off to her for engaging them... Tennis needs personalities!
I love it. So authentic. Stop hating on her. She’s just being herself and not a robot like most players can be.
No, thanks. Her being herself just proves you should not celebrate everyone. Her character leaves so much to be desired.
@ 😂😂 oh god
Oh please!
Yes! Besides Collins and Sabs, rest of WTA are lobotomized robot women. Emma honorable mention
Exactly 💯
Let's not ignore the elephant in the room - she's an attractive, confident and articulate white woman. Those factors pretty much make her public enemy number one by default in a woke country like Australia, especially given she was playing a woman of colour. She held her nerve relatively well during the match and gave it to the crowd - mostly bogans - at the end and reminded them of the fact they're paying to hate on her. We need more like her in the game, not least of all because it's just refreshing to see a woman playing women's tennis for a change.
The elephant in the room is that she enjoys winding people up because that gives her energy. She's at her best when in a confrontation. And if she can't get it from her opponent she'll get it from the crowd. She's been doing it for years, all around the world.
@amireallythatgrumpy6508 That's an aside but yes, it definitely works for her. It's a great antidote.
Aussie gronks at their best as usual. About to congratulate her opponent and so typical of disrespectful spectators.
She mocked the crowd seconds before the start of the interview. They didn't start booing her the moment she got the mic, it was already on.
The crowd was cheering loudly for one of their own which is typical. The kiss my ass gesture was nasty work but I guess she gets a pass for rude obnoxious behavior.
They'd all be speaking japanese without america so yeah they get cut some slack.
Good interview I thought - didn't come across as bitter just confident
Coming from college tennis today was a breeze for her
Right!
Gee, I couldn’t begin to imagine why people dislike her……
From an Aussie here, She is super awesome!
Totally, glad she is still touring, she makes it interesting.
Can’t believe she is one of the few with a college degree 😂😅
What do you mean
Admirable, tennis and all the rest of the sports need more athletes like her. ❤

There are a lot of outsiders looking in here. People aren’t seeing that Collins was very unsportsmanlike throughout the entire match, taking a tactical medical time out when she was clearly not injured, screaming after each shot for a whole game just to throw Aiava off her focus and showing no etiquette between losing points. Also, the crowd only started booing her after she started taunting them. Until then, it was nothing out of the ordinary. If you can’t deal with a crowd who’s not supporting you, then don’t play in front of them.
? Don't play in front of them? She won. She got the last laugh. Maybe she won't next game, but it's her day. Injury timeouts are an unfortunate part of tennis. Most do it. To act like she's the ringleader and only one who does it is silly. She talked the talk and walked the walk today. As noted, she and her girls will enjoy the check. Boo!
Taking an unnecessary medical time-out? What are your thoughts on someone like Djokovic, who had cheated throughout his entire career by faking injury, taking extended bathroom breaks and medical time-outs? What's good for the goose......
I know very little about tennis, but I don't think a single match makes a martyr. It will remain to be seen how she chooses to act in other situations.
@@randallmadison9910 She did not get the last laugh. The last laugh is yet to happen.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Players enjoy their successes along the way. In a tournament, you enjoy your progress through the tournament. When and if you lose, it's a disappointment. Moreover, she answered the vitriol of fans.
Good sportsmanship goes both ways. Viewers expect it from the players but don't expect it from themselves? C'mon. I wish crowds could be better but that's obviously too much to ask of drunk-booing spectators.
Bet she doesn't mind a home crowd at the US Open though
the crowd is supposed to be booing her because she beat an aussie..thats natural..but it clearly got under her skin and her reaction to the crowd like that only gave it more visibility…

You dropped this 👑 sis 🎉🎉🎉🙌
Thank you for being tough and representing us well👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What an absolute cringelord discussing paychecks on tour, especially in that way. I listened to interviews/post game presses and not a single time has a player brought up money. Never disappoints the amount of cringe, from telling Sakkari to shut her mouth twice, to yelling at umpires and calling them names, to now gesturing to the crowd to kiss her ass and telling the crowd they pay for her 5 star vacations.
It’s pretty funny
@dous1492 No it really isn't, it's cringe, she's cringe and she definitely suffers from mental illness. She may be worse than Krygios with how often she gets into arguments with other players. You forget when she had some words with someone than shortly later beat her in the finals and stated, "I was just wishing her well with her injury", she is so full of shitt.
Oh Sookie la la. I'm Aussie and I just love her feisty fighting spirit! I thought it was hilarious!🇭🇲🥰
Love Danielle, she has fought so hard ro get where she is, and combatting terrible health issues.
I'm an even bigger Danielle fan now. Why should she let a bunch of drunk hecklers ruin her chances of winning the match? She's feisty, she stands up for herself, and she uses the negative energy around her in her favor. Good for her. Oh, and go NOVAK!
if Nole goes through Carlos / Alex / Sinner at 37 they'll have to come up with a new word for 'miracle' and 'greatness'. He's won it ten times, why not?
DC and Meddy are all tennis needs. ❤️
Very proud of Danielle on how she handled the raucous Aussie crowd, who was soo rude and noisy when she tried to play her game. Excellent way of handling herself in front of a highly biased audience against her.
Not a Collins fan, but I enjoyed seeing her expressing herself the way she did. Been playing tennis for 30 years and played with a booing audience, if you did not play in these conditions you cannot judge. To play with pain and having to put up with that crowd, I would have been even less gratious.
goodness gracious, i'm playing with pain now, thanks
Like her or not, we need more players on tour like Danimal. Look how many talking points she generated from a single match alone lol
No one bought a ticket to “heckle you.” Get over yourself. You were playing an Aussie, in Australia. Plenty of players have faced the same situation, dealt with a hostile crowd, but still managed to handle themselves with more class and grace than you did.
If the crowd is classless, why is she supposed to ‘’have class’’? Plus tennis really needs that, probably the only sport where there is no trash talk or actual rivalries in sports, except the big 3 obv. Situations like this really improve the tennis ratings believe me😂 Djokovic doing Ben Shelton’s celebration is probably the most viral tennis moment for the last 3 years, yall just can’t accept Danielle went against everyone and still won😌
@SimoneKoutrikas-j3m And you are perfect.
@@stefanmihaylov8013 and she has the same amount of slams as me .
@@Lalith333 and around 2.3 million more career earnings than u😂, she won a masters, she’s not afraid of anyone on tour! Are Zverev, Grigor and those guys irrelevant since they have as much GS as u too?!
Hostile crowd? Hurling abuse? Pipe down convict lover
I have been following Danielle Collins for a few years now. I admire her grit, her fighting spirit; the fire that she brings to the court. We need more players like her. Go Danielle!
Good on her. Australians love people who don't take any crap. I think the crowd will warm to her.
Tennis matches can be stressful, things like this can happen to anyone, professionals, club players. I don't think she's a bad person nor that she did something out of this world. We have seen it over and over again because tennis makes almost everyone a little bit crazy. What surprises me and worries me the most is that after the match she tried to say that this is a good show and good for the sport for some weird reason she made up in the moment. If there's where the world is going right now, we should all be worried. If I were her, I'd just apologize, say that it was an outburst which came from being completely stressed out in that moment, and that's it. Btw, haters don't pay tennis players... prize money and sponsors are more than enough to pay any vacation she needs, any time she wants for the rest of her life. Being rude to a home crowd who is just supporting the underdog in a second round match is just a bad thing for the image of the player and for the sport.
The sport needs more characters like Danielle
"We like 5 star trips." Ha!
Can't wait for Collins v Keys! My 2 all time favorites.
People are upset, but I don't think she said anything wrong. Loved that she blew kisses to the crowd 😅
Interesting way of looking at the negativity. She's playing well. Had a fantastic comeback in the rankings last year. Glad she decided to continue. If she's winning, why not keep playing right? A resilient and mentally strong person. Good luck Danielle.
She said that she loves these kind of hostile environments, but it seemed like it got under her skin after all. And probably the heckling would have affected most players
Can't stand Collins, claims she doesn't care about the crowd and then spends the entire interview moaning about it.
moaning about the crowd? every question being posed to her is about the crowd lol. should she all of a sudden talk about her love for those drunk aussies?
Take a hike
@@usgsat181 Nah
Totally false. You bitter hypocritical hater just wish she did. She just quietly answered the multiple questions they kept asking her about it.
@ she knows how to give it to the nasties
Collins is the most disrespectful player on the Tour. Even by her opponents she's in the hall of Shame. Period!
She's a breath of fresh air
Ash Barty hated Danielle Collins so much she even wrote about it in her memoir 😂😂😂😂
THE AUSSIE CROWD HAS BEEN POOR THIS TOURNAMENT BOOING BASICALLY ANYONE IT GETS WORSE OVER THE YEARS TOO
Congrats Danielle 😀🙌🏽🎉🎾 and the bad crowd sucked!!
She probably doesn't care, which I doubt, but the part she doesn't get is that comments like that will follow her entire life. And that's probably not something that you want to be remembered.
she is authentic, and it's refreshing to see a player that speaks her mind and not reading things that sponsors wrote for her to say
Let's all be authentic, nasty people. Yay 😂😂😂
She's pathetic
Definitely not authentic acting all confident but so insecure
She is Trolling the whole Australia continent😂😂😂
I agree with the comment that thugs like Kyrgios have encouraged bad behaviour from the crowd.Full marks to you Danelle for playing so well and having the guts to show the crowd you weren’t fazed by their appalling behaviour.This crowd don’t come for the enjoyment of the game of tennis,but to give Australians the worst reputation the world over.Thanks Kyrgios.
Loved her response, suck it Aussie crowd
Answered with grace, wit and brains to unintelligent questions.
How? She's American. She has none of those qualities.
Def recommend listening to her interview with Andy Roddick.
I love Danielle! She doesn't give a $xxx. The crowd tried to bring her down, but nope!
PS What is so difficult about giving a microphone to the journalists asking questions? This muting of the questions has been going on for years now across virtually all the tournaments..
she looks 40. is she really 31?
To me she looks great.
she looks like most women her age without make-up hair done and every filter ever invented turned up to max. she's just played a pro tennis match. have you ever played pro tennis?
People are starving. California is on fire. Ukraine is getting slaughtered. And here you are talking about your dream vacation in the Bahamas. I'm embarrassed we are from the same country.
so, you've done something about those other situations? No? I didn't think so.
@TheJhtlag Ouch! What a burn!
Danimal is GOATed. Absolute legend. 💪😎
Legend for being rude, provocative and psychotic lol 🥳
Didn’t watch the whole match but saw her reaction after. Obviously it’s an overreaction if the crowd was simply cheering for the other side loudly but if they were being rude, cheering in the middle of her serves, shit talking her, etc. that’s totally different
I LOOOOOOOVE HER!
Go Danimal well done girl
danielle is one tough cookie,,go danielle..good to see you still playing well
She’s such a real person! There’s no acting!
No, she's not a real person, she's an American. So she's obviously acting.
Boos are cheers to opposing players ask Pedro Martinez and big papi when in Yankee stadium, ❤ Danielle Collins
she still does not get it but karma will deliver it all back! sad to see the arrogance&weakness confused with confidence&integrity! real strengh is in respecting everybody and being humble
Keep your bitter BS for you hater self. She couldn’t care less.
Absolutely
@joso5554 who arr you some american clown?
Her biggest title is miami. Asides from that shes a bang average player. No wonder she is creating this villan arc, more entertaining than her tennis
Miami and Charleston back to back. I'm sorry, do YOU have a career high ranking of #7 in the world?
@jagalskarvarlden we aren't talking about me tho are we moron. Default 'what have you achieved' generic reply. Doesn't change the fact shes a bang average player
She's had a successful career as a professional. Not every is meant to be great and win slams. As long as she is breaking even and saving some, plus the highlights like AO semi final and then again final and wins like Miami plus other three titles is a great career that many pros don't have. Plus she has niche fan base like us and her own support system. She's had a successful life and career that many others didn't have
@@jameshunter6289Haha #7 in the world (even her current ranking of #10) is bang average? 😂 GTFOH
Oooh call me a moron again daddy 😘
@@banibee9837Exactly!
Her antics and attitude is why she can only be sponsored by some Sushi train. Crowd was tame compared to Kokk's match. Also a bit of a pot - kettle - black, considering the crowds at the US Open when an American is playing. What did she expect?
HOW DARE THE AUSTRALIAN CROWD CHEER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN PLAYER
They were booing her though
@@JCStorm76They were booing her opponent, who was from the USA.
@@uDave247 That’s what I meant
@@uDave247 She's been winding her up for years. And they haven't forgotten what a sore loser she was in the 2022 final.
Since she changed her mind and decided not to retire yet she is playing with no pressure and it's safe to say she doesn't give a fck anymore. To be honest, I think all the girls on the tour are big fat liars. The rivalries are real and there are no friends. They are all running for the same prizes so no friendships. Being real is not a crime.
Well it will be interesting to see what either she or her opponent say in their interviews following round 3 seeing as they were both friends.
I love her ! Stay positive and push your way through!😅
As a male tennis fan Ito dont care to watch womens matches. I just prefer the power and speed and duration of the mens matches. But there have been some great story lines on the womens side this tournament that add some spice which is great and would be more interested in watching the likes of Danielle Collins, and the Lucky Loser Eva Lys.
Bobby Robson once said the thing about the best players is that if you rile them, they produce
She should have had the UMPIRE do their job!! It should not be up to the player to quiet the crowd. They take a nice paycheck to just sit there. Everyone needed to calm the hell down, and learn how to behave in public.
She def isn’t happy
Wasn’t she playing on Kia Arena?! You can get in there with a grounds pass, not sure if those ‘haters’ were paying any bills 😂
Ground passes are around $50 so pretty sure they did. Plus all the food and drinks they spent money on
@@JCStorm76 That went to so many other players too. How many players played yesterday across mens, womens and doubles? 60+? By the way this is only the Kia. She could even make the three main courts even against an Aussie!
The amount of money the AO is worth is insane.
