Danielle Collins was quick to share the news on he Instagram Story along with the words,
“Pretty amazing ☺️💪💪.”

On Monday, Collins shared a snapshot from her latest shooting for a show on the Tennis Channel alongside Coco Gauff’s former coach, Brad Gilbert, and former WTA pro Coco Vandeweghe. The trio had previously featured in an episode of the Big T podcast, which airs on the Tennis Channel.
Collins hasn’t won any events on the WTA circuit since 2024, when she became the first player since Serena Williams in 2013 to win back-to-back titles at the Miami Open (WTA 1000) and the Charleston Open (WTA 500).
