During a women’s tennis match between Danielle Collins and Emma Raducanu on Wednesday (21st), a cameraman was scolded by Collins for getting too close to the player.
“I need to get water. We’re on a break. You don’t need to be so close to me, and you don’t need to be on top of Emma,” said Danielle. As she scolded the professional, he stepped away from the athlete.
“It’s not that hard to give space,” she continued while filling her water bottle.
Danielle Collins was in a tight match against Emma Raducanu at the Internationaux de Strasbourg held in France.
Before the break, the score was tied at three games each, but after scolding the cameraman, Collins won three consecutive games, securing victory in the third set. The match ended with a score of 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.
The tennis player is known for her explosive behavior on court.
At the beginning of 2025, Danielle Collins provoked the crowd that was booing her during the match against Destanee Aiava at the Australian Open.
She blew kisses to the fans booing her, mocked the spectators for being “old,” and gave herself a slap on the backside in front of the irritated fans.
The tennis player said anyone booing her who bought tickets to the event was actually “donating to the Danielle Collins Fund,” and that she would take a five-star vacation with that money.
Collins now advances to the quarterfinals of the Internationaux de Strasbourg, where she will face Anna Kalinskaya.
