Danielle Collins’ Perfect Swansong Dented After a Brutal Stuttgart Open Snub

Danielle Collins is on a roll during her farewell season as she is undergoing an absolute renaissance in form. The American tennis star has clinched two back-to-back WTA singles titles in Miami and Charleston, while she has also reached the top 15 rankings on the women’s tour. However, Collins’ stellar run this season might now be disrupted as she has faced a brutal snub from the upcoming Stuttgart Open.

The newly crowned Charleston Open champion previously failed to secure a spot in the main draw of the Stuttgart Open as she was ranked 53rd on the tour when the registrations for the WTA 500 tournament ended in mid-March. Collins also didn’t receive a wild card because the organizers had already distributed them earlier. Aside from Laura Siegemund and Tatjana Maria, the likes of the former Grand Slam champions Emma Raducanu and Angelique Kerber have also received a wild card invite.

As she didn’t receive a wild card invite, Collins could only book a place in the main draw of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix if she prevailed in the qualifying rounds. After facing a brutal snub, the former number 7 player has decided that she will not be playing in this season’s indoor sand court tournament, as she has now made her decision clear.

Danielle Collins will not be joining other top-ranked players in Stuttgart

Despite currently sitting in the 15th spot on the WTA Tour, the American player won’t be a part of this esteemed WTA 500 tournament this season, which will feature other top-ranked players like Iga Świątek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff. After her name disappeared from the list of entries for the qualification, the organizers confirmed that Danielle Collins had withdrawn from the tournament.

The news was recently brought to light on Twitter by a user who stated, “Organizers of #PorscheTennis confirmed that Danielle Collins has withdrawn from the tournament.” It has come as a huge disappointment for the tennis community, as the main competition in Germany will start next week without Collins, who was on a brilliant thirteen-win streak and, 26:2 in sets.
