Eager for More Success
Entering her final season on the tour at the age of 30, Danielle Collins exudes confidence and determination.
"I'm just focused on keeping up this momentum," Collins remarked following her fourth WTA title win.
Her unwavering commitment to staying true to herself on the court underscores her desire for continued success.
The Rise of the “Danimal”
Affectionately known as the "Danimal," Collins has been unstoppable in recent weeks. Dropping just one set in six matches, she showcased her prowess on the court, securing consecutive titles.
Despite facing tough competition, including 2023 Charleston champion Ons Jabeur, Collins emerged victorious, solidifying her status as a force to be reckoned with.

A Final Season Filled with Promise
As Collins prepares to bid farewell to professional tennis, her determination remains unwavering. Despite dealing with the challenges of endometriosis, she remains steadfast in her decision to retire and pursue other goals, such as starting a family. Her recent string of victories only reinforces her desire to retire on a high note, leaving behind a legacy of top-level tennis.
A Low-Maintenance Champion
Unlike some of her counterparts who travel with full-time coaches and staff, Collins prefers to keep things simple. With her boyfriend, Bryan Kipp, and beloved dog, Quincy, by her side, she traversed the tournament circuit with ease, showcasing her laid-back demeanor and unwavering focus on the court.
Looking Ahead to Madrid
Ranked 22nd in the world, Collins plans to take a few days off before gearing up for her next challenge in Madrid later this month. With her sights set on maintaining her winning streak, she is determined to return to her "Danimal" mode and continue her pursuit of excellence on the court.
