Danielle Collins continues to mock Australian fans from vacation

It was a very small part of the video, not really the whole point or focus of it.

Nice vacation, gotta say.

LLOLL it so easy to get in her head.
She doesn't have much of a life, considering how easily she's triggered by strangers who are not even near her :-D
But she is fun to watch speak, she's very out of control which is fun to watch!
She's good for tennis, because she's genuine, whereas Kyrgios is all fake...
When it happens to Alcaraz, and he responds in some "negative" manner, let's see if you say the same....yeah, that's not going to happen.

We all funded it, as Collins noted haha.

It was weird how the crowd rooting for a home underdog set her off so much that she's putting in a bit of effort to actually rub it in. My guess is she's redirecting anger from something else.

That doesn't look like much effort to me. In fact, it looks pretty relaxed, like a vacation.

Don't think it's that serious from her side anymore. The initial reaction was in the heat of the moment and now she's just having a bit of additional fun with it.

She doesn't strike me as mean-spirited, just feisty.

He only engages with fans positively :giggle: so hard to imagine him being in Collins' shoes :-D since he's nothing like her...
I said she was triggered and that "she doesn't have much of a life" because that video was supposed to show her still reacting to Australia while she's on the other side of the world!
But after seeing that video, I don't think she's saying or doing anything to do with Australia.

what the hell, she didnt say a word, its just a holidays video, a very nice and tasty one by the way, what a ridiculous headline
She gave a little pat of the butt in a pickleball game on vacation. Oh the horror, society has gotten so soft nowadays.

Even if she was "giving it back to the fans", big whoop who is she harming?

I am open to giving her a little pat in the butt.

I have been spanked in the butt with a pickleball paddle by a female partner as appreciation for winning a point, so I know what it feels like.

She's a piece of work. I respect her for graduating from the University of Virginia and obtaining a Masters degree....and then, becoming a pro. A completely different trajectory than all these mental midgets who who went through the player mills (academies}.
She's winning at life and I've seen enough of her off court interviews to see she's a pretty decent person.
I'm not sure you know what the expression "piece of work," really means. Maybe you need to be from NY?

And what can be considered "winning at life" is subjective, at best.

I don't think anyone feels harmed or even overly upset, but some of us are just pointing out the lack of class.

When you are in a disagreement with someone (or a group), such as she was with that crowd at the AO, stooping to 'well, I have more money than you do,' is pretty pathetic.

Here's the reality: She's hot and you're not. Cope and seethe accordingly.
Actually, I think part of her issue is that she realizes she isn't as hot as the various Rybakinas, Sabalenkas, Anisimovas, Badosas, Navarros, Muchovas, Siniakovas, Giorgis (sadly retired)...

And of course she isn't as good as some of them, being slamless. She's insecure. There's nothing particularly wrong with that, but she doesn't always deal with it very well.

She appears to deal with it just fine, using the funds provided by a hostile crowd to parody them while on holiday.

The Australian drunkards booed her in the moment. Those plastered fans are now back in the bars and are not following her Instagram.
This Bahamas video is not particularly directed to her critics. It is just a vacation video for her fans.

She is so adorable. So loud, extroverted, opinionated and intelligent... She is playing pickelball too. She is having too much fun!
Would love to see her appointed to a Presidential Cabinet position.

I would think she probably had an Australian roommate during college who was mean to her.

Blah blah blah. Quit critiquing everyone's post. Nobody is waiting for your reply.

Can't say I've ever heard her say anything intelligent :rolleyes:
And she must be struggling to find anything fun to do if she has to settle for pickleball :oops:
Presidential cabinet? She's not qualified for anything and is yet to show any talent other than tennis :-D

Me too. The ones calling her triggered are taking this way more seriously than she is. She's just having fun with it. But leave it to the TT forums to get triggered by someone just having fun. You can think it's not funny without taking it so seriously.
The same applies to you taking the posts here too seriously.

Obviously that's not her, you're not funny
Oh sorry I felt something was wrong. It is Polina Kudermetova

I was misled by the top of the web page: https://www.wtatennis.com/photos/4194686/photos-eva-lys-and-all-the-top-100-breakthroughs-of-2025

Here is Eva:

Collins should retire, like she was going to. Good riddance, if she does.
There could be more to it. Even someone as wealthy as Venus admitted she was not retiring formally for the sake of health insurance.

I mean, her being fine doesn't exclude her from also being classless.

This sentence is much better if one cuts off the bold part
Agreed!

Sure, but you used the expression wrong. Just pointing it out, since, well, you know...

I'm not sure what you mean. I just gave my opinion about the reaction to Collins. And in my opinion the reaction to her was overly serious for something that wasn't meant to be serious. How do you recommend I express that better?

I thought she didn’t care??
She does. A lot. That’s why she pulled the fake retirement stunt. Narcissistic people like her need attention. Even if it’s negative. I have a family member like this. If Collins wasn’t a high level player she would be on a fast track to a friendless aging person that people avoid. In my opinion of course.

I agree course…When ever someone starts with ‘I don’t care’ and proceed to talk about situation/person it means they massively care :)
