After repeating time and time again that 2024 would be her last active season, many of us still don’t quite understand what made Danielle Collins change her mind at the last minute. A change that we celebrate, as we will have her in action in 2025 as well. Upon her arrival at the Australian Open, where she made the final three years ago, the American confessed to suffering from physical problems, in addition to revealing how tough it has been to extend her professional career.

“Obviously, I was eager to start a family right away, to begin a new chapter, but sometimes these things come at you, new curves appear, I thought I could enjoy the tour a bit more, which is an advantage. Nevertheless, it was a tough decision. I could talk more about it, but I want to be here for two weeks focused on competing hard. I admit that I come from a period where I’ve cried every day, I was scared, it hasn’t been fun. The physical challenges ahead of me are complex, my medical team will have to figure out the best plan,” the emotional American assessed.
