Miami Open: How Danielle Collins’ Decision to Retire and Get Pregnant Might Become the Best Decision of Her Life

American WTA star Danielle Collins is making rounds on social media for her planned retirement-related statement. After losing her Australian Open chance to Iga Swiatek this year, disappointed Collins revealed her retirement plans at the end of this season. However, more than disappointment, Collins seemed enthusiastic to experience motherhood.

Fans who know this American professional tennis star, know Collins’s tough battles with endometriosis and arthritis. Now some medical research suggests that pregnancy might not cure endometriosis but it might improve the symptoms. This is because pregnancy brings hormonal changes and stops menstruation. Following this, the question remains of whether motherhood can help Danielle Collins fight against endometriosis. The question also adds how her planned retirement might appear as the best decision for her health.

Danielle Collins’s recent interview shows that pregnancy can help her with endometriosis

In a recent interview with The Athletic, Collins revealed that her doctor also suggested that pregnancy might be a probable solution for her problem. It was when she underwent surgery to remove the abdominal tissue. This American tennis star further revealed that the surgery wasn’t much of a help for her and she kept on playing. Given that Collins’s condition brings very painful situations for her during her periods, participating in professional tournaments might have been challenging for her. That is why her retirement can at least ensure that she doesn’t need to experience the physical exertion of tennis after retirement anymore.

This thought also appeared in Danielle Collins’s mind as she proposed her retirement anyway after this season when fans brought back their expectations. The Athletic wrote about her– “After October, that will no longer be a concern. She still plans to travel, and has already made a start. She’s got a trip to South Africa planned for December.”

Danielle Collins’s planned retirement and pregnancy plans might truly help her to reduce endometriosis’s symptoms. More than that, her retirement and pregnancy would bring cheer to her parents.

While fans might be disappointed hearing that they will no longer see Collins on the court after this season, this American WTA star has different plans. In the same interview, Collins revealed that she always wanted to make a different identity than just a tennis player. Her parents also motivated her to graduate when she was given the chance to enter professional tennis. Now about her planned retirement, this American WTA star revealed that her parents wish her to have kids. They feel that it is time for her to experience motherhood.

Collins also openly spoke about her wish to have kids after the Australian Open 2024 retirement-related statement. It showcased the tennis star’s other life goals. Since endometriosis is also a big challenge for Collins to play tennis professionally, a retirement would bring her much-needed rest. Despite sadness, her fans wish her love and blessings on her new endeavor.
