At the 2020 French Open, the couple made headlines as Collins wanted Tom to shift to a different location mid-match. As it was not clear immediately, it appeared as if the American was just venting out frustration on her boyfriend. However, Collins cleared the air later and explained what actually happened.

“I had my boyfriend move to a different spot because I was distracted by something in front of him. I just wanted to be able to look at him from a different location.”

Collins’ success amid health struggles will serve as an inspiration

Danielle Collins lost that quarter-final contest against Sofia Kenin in a three-set thriller at the Roland Garros. Collins’ rise to the top was marred by endometriosis. At Australia last year, the American struggled to close out her match against Daria Kasatkina in the Philip Island Trophy as she fell to the ground with intense cramping of abdominal muscles.

In April 2021, Collins underwent surgery for endometriosis and bounced back on tour by winning two titles. Her maiden title came at the Palermo Open and the second one was the Silicon Valley Classic. Collins registered 31 wins and just 7 losses since the surgery and continues to serve as an incredible inspiration for tennis fans across the world.
