Don’t mess with Danielle Collins. She’s a beast! Tennis fans have often heard or witnessed several such moments surrounding the fiery personality of this 30-year-old American tennis star. She has always been that character who creates fear in the opponent’s mind with her aggressive style of play. Danimal’s way of tackling on-court and off-court troubles is pretty bold. But what if someday she wakes up and sees aliens on Earth? “What’s the first thing that goes through your head?” asked the Tennis Channel’s Confessional cart’s apparent host to Collins.

Before revealing her way to tackle the extraterrestrials, the American tennis player said, “I would love to go to space. So like I want to get in their like spaceship and like head out with them (laughs).” Traveling with aliens on a spaceship and heading towards an unfamiliar territory, well, that’s quite a ‘Danimal‘ thing, indeed! But what about others?

Grigor Dimitrov looked a bit confused before giving an answer to this question. He added, “Take me for a flight. Bring me to spacethat’ll be fun I guess. I don’t know, good question.While Norwegian tennis star, Casper Ruud came up with a completely different response. Did you know Casper Ruud loves science?

Ruud said, “I’d be excited I think. They’ve possibly visited Earth already. So, I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m one of those guys who believes in this. So, roast me all you want but to believe otherwise is believing against science. So, I wouldn’t be surprisedI’d just be excited.”

Among the three tennis stars, the American and the Bulgarian got off to a winning start at the 81st edition of the Italian Open. But unfortunately for the Norwegian, he had to face defeat in his match against Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanović by a three-set thriller. Talking about Serbia, well, Matteo Berrettini once revealed that he had seen an alien from Serbia on the tennis court.

There’s someone that Berrettini and Nick Kyrgios believe could be an alien in human form.

Danielle Collins’ form this year has been some out-of-the-world stuff. But she’s still that hot-headed human with unnatural abilities! But who are those aliens on the court then? During an interview, the Italian tennis star said, “It’s impressive to see Djokovic’s motivation after everything he’s done and the way he manages his body.” Matteo Berrettini went on to add, “He’s quite alien, like [Rafael] Nadal and [Roger] Federer, but he’s the one who perhaps it’s further away from who I am and that’s why I see it this way.” However, he isn’t the only one to have witnessed these aliens on the tennis court.

Nick Kyrgios once joked about Novak Djokovic being the proof that aliens exist. The 36-year-old Serbian had a stellar season last year and his incredible achievements from that season prompted Kyrgios to think Djokovic is not like any other normal human being. He posted a random Q&A session on his Instagram stories last year. During that session, one of his fans had asked him, “Do aliens exist?“. To this, he simply replied with a Novak Djokovic photo.
