Danielle Collins‘ remarkable performance at the Miami Open not only earned her a spot in the semi-finals but also made her win the hearts of the fans. After securing a massive 6-3, 6-2 win over Caroline Garcia in the quarter-finals, Collins talked about the positive aspects of her playing experience at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Collins, who has her roots in Florida, took time to explain how it has been a smooth experience for her as well as all the other players who took part in the tournament. The event, which took place at the home stadium of the Miami Dolphins, was still under discussion, with different comments coming up from the players.

“I have to say the hospitality here has been fantastic,” Danielle Collins mentioned, appreciating the comfort levels created for players in the ongoing event. “We really get to feel like professionals this week. this is the type of, this is the type of facilities that we want to play at. we have everything we need here,” she continued, adding more clarity in explaining the playing environment at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Instead of being just a regular statement, the words from Collins crossed over the criticism shot by the ATP star Casper Ruud. “This is a joke. And you know why it is, because the tournament is too cheap to put up something good for the players. The players come here every year to play, to put on a show in front of tens of thousands of people and then they treat us like this,” he said, slamming the officials over the limited resources provided during the event.

As Danielle Collins came forward with a contradictory statement over the playing situation in Miami, it somehow acted as an answer for those looking for credibility in Ruud’s statement.

Summing up her overall experience at the event by mentioning, “it’s so much fun having these, these weeks in the states and being close to home,” she not only dropped details of her presence but also gave the answer to what could be the powering aspect behind her dominant performance. As Danielle Collins looks ahead to the semi-finals, it still remains to be seen if her jolly mood helps her tackle the challenges ahead.
