Danimal is roaring with full power! Imagine playing the final matches of your career and achieving your best performance ever. This is exactly what American tennis star Danielle Collins is doing as she prepares to hang up her racquets after this season. However, Collins is not just dazzling the tennis community with her on-court prowess; there’s so much more to her story.

The American tennis sensation is having a remarkable season, and her performance at Wimbledon is no exception. The 30-year-old defeated her Brazilian counterpart Beatriz Haddad Maia in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, in their third-round clash. Beyond her exceptional gameplay on Saturday, Collins garnered attention with her iconic advice to all women.

In the post-match interview, Collins advised women players to keep expressing themselves. “I wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m someone who’s not afraid to be myself. I think as women we should really embrace that and support each other and be able to use that passion to fire us up.”Collins’ statement seemed directed at her opponent, who appeared frustrated after the defeat.

After the match, Maia shook hands with Collins. What initially seemed like a calm demeanor soon turned heated as the Brazilian smashed her racquet against her kit bag. Her reaction is understandable; leading 4-0 in the first set only to lose 6-4 can be very frustrating. Collins justified showing emotions and frustration.

 “We get framed as emotional and frustrated and this and that. I just say ‘F it.’ I’m going for it. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I’m always gonna bring the passion.”Meanwhile, Collins has an interesting bucket list to accomplish as she advances to the fourth round at Wimbledon.

“It’s a goal of mine to be..” Danielle Collins’ heartfelt admission about a unique Wimbledon goal

Danielle Collins has reached the round of 16 at Wimbledon for the first time in her career. Achieving this feat as she heads towards retirement is even more special. Besides aiming for her first Grand Slam title, Collins has another goal on the green courts.

In a post-match interview, Collins revealed her desire to play a singles match on Centre Court at the All-England Club. “It’s a goal of mine to be able to play on Centre Court in a singles match at some point.” former World No.7 said. “I have yet to do that in my career. So I am just trying to ride this thing out until I can play on Centre Court.” While Collins played a doubles match with Desirae Krawczyk on Centre Court in the 2022 Wimbledon semi-final, she has yet to play a singles match there.

As the tournament progresses, it will be interesting to see if Collins can maintain her momentum and achieve her goal of playing on Centre Court. For now, she is scheduled to face Czech player Barbora Krejčíková on Monday.
