Australian Open 2025 results: Danielle Collins thanks fans for “paying my bills” after she was heckled in second-round win
Collins said the 290,000 Australian dollars (£147,500) that she will receive for reaching the third round at Melbourne Park would be used on a “five-star trip”.
“Me and my group of girlfriends, we love a five-star vacation so I can guarantee that cheque is going to go towards our next five-star trip – hopefully to the Bahamas,” said Collins, who will face compatriot Madison Keys next.
“We like boats, we like big boats, we like yachts, so we’ll post about it and let you guys know how it goes.”
Collins returned to tennis at the start of 2025 after previously announcing she would retire at the end of the 2024 season.
She continues to deal with endometriosis, which can affect fertility, and told BBC Sport in May that starting a family was “one of her biggest goals outside of tennis”.
