Danielle Collins is an American professional tennis player who was born on December 13, 1993.
She has achieved a career-high ranking of No. 7 in singles and No. 86 in doubles on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour.
Collins has won two WTA Tour singles titles, including the 2021 Palermo Open and the 2021 Silicon Valley Classic.
She reached her first major singles final at the 2022 Australian Open.
Collins grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida, and started playing tennis at a young age.
She would wake up early in the morning to practice with her father, who owns a small landscaping company.
Despite facing health challenges, including endometriosis and rheumatoid arthritis, Collins has continued to excel in her tennis career.
In recent news, Collins was involved in a heated shouting match with Greek player Maria Sakkari during a match at the WTA’s Canadian Open.
This incident gained media attention for the intense exchange between the two players.
Danielle Collins boyfriend
Collins is currently in a relationship with Joe Vollen, although they are not married.
However, there has been some confusion about who her boyfriend is, as some sources have reported that she is dating her fitness coach, Tom Couch.
It appears that she was previously in a relationship with Couch, but they broke up and she is now dating Vollen.
Vollen is a model, fitness enthusiast, and former lacrosse midfielder who has been active in the fitness industry for over 15 years.
He is probably in his late 30s or early 40s.
Vollen is also a singer and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree of Arts in Psychological Brain Sciences from John Hopkins University in 2005.
In addition to his modeling career, he has worked with various fitness brands and has a net worth that is not specified in the publicly available information.
Danielle Collins surgery
Collins underwent surgery for endometriosis in April 2021.
Endometriosis is a painful condition that affects roughly one in ten women, where tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it.
Collins had been suffering from agonizing periods and stabbing pain throughout her spine, which became so debilitating that it was impossible for her to play matches.
Her orthopedic doctor referred her to a gynecologist when she mentioned her period pain, and Collins underwent emergency surgery for endometriosis four days later.
The operation involved incisions, and Collins said that she got to the point where she could no longer manage without it.
After the surgery, Collins recovered in time to play at the French Open before winning WTA tournaments in San Jose and Chicago.
She said that the surgery was life-changing and that she was able to live her best life and feel like a normal person again.
Collins also hopes that the surgery will help her start a family in the future.
In a press conference, she opened up about her experience with endometriosis and said that she wanted to raise awareness about the condition.
Collins’ remarkable comeback after endometriosis pain left her barely able to compete at this time last year culminated in her playing in the Australian Open women’s singles final in January 2022.
She said that she felt a lot freer after her endometriosis surgery and that she was able to unleash the best tennis of her career.
