‘Love Nothing More to Represent My Country’- Danielle Collins’ Stirring Revelation About the Alluring Paris Olympics Dream

Representing your country at the Olympics can be a dream come true moment for anyone and it seems like the same is the case with American sensation Danielle Collins as well. Having announced her decision to retire after the end of this year, she rose from the dead and has stunned everyone with jaw-dropping performances at the Miami Open and now at the ongoing Charleston Open. That being said, her heroic performances at this point have earned her a high jump into the WTA rankings and a possible contention at the upcoming Olympics.

That being said, Danielle Collins recently opened up about playing in one of the most prestigious events and how she looks up to the opportunity. Having made a superb jump into the rankings, she now stands as a main contender to go to the event.

Danielle Collins talks about her passion for representing her country at the Olympics

In the post-match interview, following her win against Sloane Stephens, Danielle Collins came ahead and showed her love to represent her country at one of the biggest sporting events across the world. “I would love nothing more to represent my country. My favorite memories on the court are honestly the weeks at the Billie Jean King Cup. There’s nothing, nothing like it. And especially being on the team with, you know, these women that I’ve known for a very long time, Jess and I are the same age and close friends, and, Maddie Keys and I have known each other since we were, like, 8 or 9 years old, and we used to be pen pals, and then, you know, with Coco and Emma and them being a little bit younger over the last couple of years, really got to know Coco well and spent time with her and, you know, Emma and I went to the same school, and so,” said Danielle Collins in the post-match interview.

Talking about the talent that was there in the squad, Danielle is excited about the depth of the US team heading to the Olympics. Whether or not she makes the final roster, she’s eagerly looking forward to cheering on her teammates and seeing how they perform.

So no matter who ends up going to the Olympics, we’re going to have a really fierce team and, I’m excited about it either way, whether I play, or I don’t, I’m really excited to see how we do at the Olympics this year. We have such a strong group of girls,” she further continued.

Thus, Danielle Collins came up with a stern message as she made her opinion clear on playing at the upcoming Olympics in Paris. While she looks clear from the rankings’ perspective, it will be exciting to see if she makes her way into the tournament or not.

Collins is currently in the 3rd spot in the live rankings to seal the spot in Paris

Interestingly, only the top 4 players from both men’s and women’s sides will be able to represent their country at the upcoming Olympics. When it comes to the women’s side, Danielle Collins, who currently sits in the 15th spot in the live WTA rankings is only behind Coco Gauff (2nd) and Jessica Pegula (5th).

Then, behind her is Emma Navarro (16th) and Maddison Keys (17th). If Collins continues to play like this, she could very well be in contention to represent her county at the global event. With form running by her side, will she be able to finally clinch her dream and make her way into the Olympics? Do let us know in the comments below!
