Weeks after Retirement Bombshell, Danielle Collins Opens up on Her ‘Main Priority’ in Post-tennis Life

Being a tennis player is not at all an easy task. While the success might look very tempting, the amount of effort that the players have to put in is just world-class. But, there comes a time when the player just decides to stop putting in the work and leaving things for the good. The same has been the case with Danielle Collins who recently announced that this will be her last year as a professional tennis player.

However, while revealing future plans, the American star came ahead and made her feelings clear to run away from everything and start a new life that does not put her in the limelight.

Danielle Collins reveals future plans as she plans to run away from tennis

In a recent revelation, Danielle Collins came ahead and revealed her plans. She suggested a future centered around family and personal passions. She wants to shift away from the intense tennis scene while putting her main focus on starting a family. Collins suggested that she was very well aware of the current hectic lifestyle of a full-time tennis player, where daily routines revolve around tournaments and competition.

“You know, I’m not sure. I’m not sure if I’ll kind of continue working in tennis. You know, I think I definitely want to start a family. That’s the main priority. And have other interests outside of the tennis court and kind of need to have the time and the space to be able to focus on, you know, what sparks my interest. I feel like with the lifestyle we live and this being our full-time job and so much of our day-to-day revolving around preparing and getting ready for the next tournament and going out and competing, you know, we don’t have a of time to kind of think about that next chapter unless you are thinking about doing something in tennis,” suggested Collins in the interview.

Further speaking in the interview, she suggested that she wants to start a life that is a bit quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of tennis. This clearly indicates that Collins is not interested in looking for a future in tennis post-retirement. Collins further suggested that she wants to start a quiet life, a life that allows her to step away from the public eye where all she can do is be herself.

“So I kind of need a little bit of time to figure out what that’s going to be, but I think what I’m looking forward to the most is kind of stepping away from the public eye a little bit and being able to have a, you know, quiet lifestyle and a simple one,” she further added.

So, Danielle Collins revealed her future plans as she claimed to step away from the limelight and start a new life that allows her to stay at peace and start her own family. After rocking the tennis courts for years, it is finally time for her to put her game to rest and see what life brings her.
