Danielle Collins’ ranking might be low, but her spirit on the court is high. As she strives to improve her tennis performance this season, the Canadian Open may be an ideal opportunity for her. After beating Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina to advance to the second round of the competition, the 29-year-old tennis player described what was going through her mind throughout the match.

The American player, who is currently ranked 48, established a weird Barbie connection that disturbed her throughout the match. Let’s examine how, despite being in a Barbie zone, she was able to achieve a great win against the 2023 Wimbledon semi-finalist.

Danielle Collins is still in her own Barbie world

The 2022 Australian Open runner-up recently defeated the Ukrainian tennis player in the opening round of the Canadian Open. While the victory meant a lot just before the US Open, in the post-match press conference, the former world number 7 joked about how the Barbie movie was stuck in her head during the whole showdown.

She said, “My head has been taken for a spin. We went to the Barbie movie last night. So that’s where my head is, I’ve got the songs stuck in my head.”

Well, she is not the only tennis player on the WTA circuit who has had Barbie in her normal conversations. Just a few days ago, the 2023 Australian Open champion, Aryna Sabalenka, shared her own version of Barbie while sharing a body positivity message for her fans.

That post highlighted that the realistic ones are pretty self-confident, enjoy tacos, and really don’t care about other people’s opinions on their own appearance. Along with that post, she also shared an alternative name for Barbie and wrote, ‘Carbie,’ who has fewer imaginary features but more of a carbs personality.
