There is no one Danielle Collins has not left in awe this year. With consecutive title victories at the Miami Open and Charleston Open, no one would believe the American is retiring after 2024. Even former tennis legend Andy Roddick is impressed, who had nothing but praise for Collins in a recent interview, even making an Andre Agassi comparison.

Collins has breezed by tournaments this year, earning the moniker ‘Danimal’ from her WTA peers. With a career-best 13-match win streak and two titles in a row, it would be hard to find fault with her performance right now.
