Italian Open: ‘Class Act’ Danielle Collins Wins Tennis Fans’ Hearts With a Delightful Gesture for Shattered Opponent

‘Danimal’ has a new side! Danielle Collins is up and running at the ongoing Italian Open. Coming into the event as a clear favorite, she faced Anna Blinkova in the first round. While she got the win, it came in the most unexpected fashion. Having comfortably won the first set against her, the American was all set to seal the deal by clinching the second one as well. But, her opponent stumbled midway through the match and could not carry forward.

This eventually forced Blinkova to retire and Collins was granted the win. However, what happened next clearly won the fans’ hearts. The American WTA star helped her opponent as she brought her water bottle to support her and even carried her bag off the court. This incident is something that the fans simply can’t get enough of, given Collins’ usually fiery personality once facing someone across the net.

One fan came ahead and suggested that the actions by Collins were so wonderful to see. “That’s so wonderful to see,” said the fan who couldn’t get enough of Collins’ actions.

Collins has announced that this would be her last year on the professional circuit. This fan, who was amazed by her actions suggested that Collins’ presence on the Tour would be sorely missed after this year ends. “Gonna miss Collins,” wrote the fan with a broken heart emoji.
