Fans have been witnessing a sense of disappointment as they witness the diminishing form of Danielle Collins. While the American tennis star once used to rule the courts with her amazing skills and aura, it seems like she is on the verge of ending her professional career.

Danielle Collins recently lost her second-round match against Iga Swiatek. As the WTA star had to face a disappointing exit from the Australian Open, she dropped another bomb by hinting at the end of her career.

Danielle Collins admits being close to announcing her retirement

In a post-match interview after her recent defeat to Iga Swiatek at the Australian Open, American tennis star Danielle Collins shocked the fans by admitting that this season would bring an end to her competitive journey on the courts. Collins shared, “At this point, you know, I’m kind of at the end of my career and they don’t sting quite as much, to be honest. I feel like I have kind of gotten to the point where obviously they matter, and, you know, my career means a lot to me, but at the end of the day, you either win or you lose, and that’s all there is to it.”

Along with dropping this unexpected bombshell, the tennis star expressed a sense of acceptance about the decision as she added, “Yeah, this is going to be my last season, actually, competing. I don’t really know exactly when, but this will be my last season, and I’m really looking forward to that.”
