Danielle Collins is showing great tennis at the Miami Open as she beat her quarterfinal opponent, Caroline Garcia, in a fantastic display.

The moment went viral on Reddit as fans shared their reaction to Collins, who went on from cheerfully smiling to deadpan stoic in the blink of a second.

Collins has been asked about rethinking her retirement often and feels exhausted at the fact that she has to answer that question so often. During a post-match interview, she shared her frustration over having to explain her decision time and again.

After defeating Caroline Garcia in the ongoing Miami Open, Collins was questioned if she would reconsider her retirement decision now that she is back to her old form. The interviewer also inquired as to whether Collins’ positive consistency would continue if he chose not to retire. Collins responded that she believed such questions were often asked of her since she is a WTA player.

She said, “I feel like I have had to justify my decision a lot, I feel like if I was a guy, I probably wouldn’t have to justify it that much.” Collins called foul at the fact that she had to answer questions about her retirement so often. Be that as it may, as she prepares for the semi-final, she will, perhaps, be worried more about the upcoming match than answering this question again.
