Danielle Collins successfully defied age as a restricting factor on her run for the title in Madrid. Despite facing a defeat in her last match against Aryna Sabalenka, she managed to win hearts by getting a big record in her name. Starting from her amazing dash in Miami that added a valuable title to her portfolio, the WTA star created a 15-match win streak, establishing her image as the oldest woman to hit the mark.

Soon after she defeated Jaqueline Cristian in Madrid, social media platforms were flooded with posts that celebrated her enormous win streak. Browsing through the series of posts that referred to her as a veteran, she decided to give a witty response.

“Danielle Collins is the oldest player to win 15 consecutive WTA tour-level matches since Serena Williams in 2015,” said the post, which she reshared on her Instagram story. Unleashing her humorous side, the WTA star quoted, “Who would of thought a granny like me could win 15 matches #thisis30 #30yearsold.”

This witty statement from her not only acted as a celebration of her massive achievement but also added another example where she openly introduced fans to her funny side. Although the Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka managed to put an end to her win streak, she still established herself as a winner, moving ahead to the last days of her professional tennis career.

With the massive streak that raised her name to the likes of Serena Williams, Martina Navratilova, and Chris Evert, it still remains to be seen if she comes up with more surprises for the fans who are waiting to bid her a champion’s farewell.

“Earlier this year around the holidays I decided this would be my last season. I’m feeling really happy about it and looking forward to it,” the 30-year-old said. This statement raised speculations in the minds of the fans about her plans for the future.
