The 31-year-old American athlete cupped her hand to her ear, blew kisses to the spectators, and cheekily tapped her backside after her win against Aiava.

Collins remarked, “I thought, while I’m here, I might as well enjoy that big fat paycheck.”

“We love to go on lavish vacations, so a good part of that will fund that.”

“Thank you all for coming out tonight and showing your support. I love you all.”

She further added, “I noticed quite a few audience members seemed to be quite intoxicated, really struggling to manage their excitement.”

Collins, seeded 10th in the tournament, has already pocketed £147,000 ($180,000) for reaching the third round.

She noted, “Well, since I’ll be here for a few hours engaging with these folks, I might as well relish my earnings, right?”

“I genuinely enjoyed that—the best aspect of being a professional athlete is that even those who may not like you or even despise you are indirectly assisting in covering your costs.”

“It’s an intriguing thought, and I know my career won’t last eternally; it’s a constant reminder that they are contributing to my financial rewards.”

“Every ticket purchased to hurl insults at me is, in turn, supporting the Danielle Collins fund. So please, keep it coming, I appreciate it.”

Collins—who recently reversed her intention to retire after this season—plans a luxurious getaway to the Bahamas with her friends.

She shared, “My friends and I adore five-star experiences; thus, I can assure you that my next paycheck will be allocated towards a fancy trip, ideally to the Bahamas.”

“We love boats. Big boats. We’re fans of yachts. Yes, we’ll keep you posted on our escapades.”
