DANIELLE COLLINS - Full Interview 

Great interview. I enjoy watching Danielle play. She will be missed when she retires.

Ms Collins, Mr Roddick. Watching this interview was a true pleasure. I coach HS tennis, I play tennis multiple times a week in retirement. I don't think I have ever understood what wonderful human beings each of you are. Congrats on lives well lived (so far)! Thank you for the interview.

This was a wonderful interview! Roddick and Danimal together on a microphone is the team the tennis fans need more of!

I'm looking at her differently after watching this video. I always see her so intense on the court, and rarely smiles. Found out that she has a great personality.

Fantastic job Andy. Danielle Collins is so well spoken. She does all of the work for you.

Great interview, I never knew what to think of her, this was really great to understand what kind of a person she really is. Good luck, Danielle for the rest of the year!

She's smart and funny. A true character 🙂

Andy is a class act. One year at the US Open, he was practicing on a side court and the entire perimeter was mobbed with fans. When he was done practicing he gave EACH and EVERYONE around an autograph from one corner to the next. And Danielle is wonderful as well. Thanks for having her on!

Having her recent results while dealing with RA is amazing. My father and grandfather had RA, I saw the pain. This interview was brilliant but there's more to come please!

I’m Polish ,so my heart belongs to Iga, but I like very much Danielle.

This girl is just great. I’m on her wavelength. Keep doing your thing, Danielle.

It's been terrific to follow Danielle's success this year, in a completely non-stalker manner, of course. Hope her incredible results continue. Great interview!

Danielle, is one of a kind amazing. She broke the mold of what a tennis player should look like, and created her own niche. Danielle is a powerful example of following her truth, and living her life on her terms. She will continue to surprise us. All the best for Danielle moving forward.

Dear Tennis Channel, We love Danielle Collins :))

Danielle is such a sweetheart. On the court she is a drastically different person. WIshing her a successful year and a happy life!

Yay we love Danielle and she's an amazing tennis player and also stunning. Such an intelligent athlete. I'm also an introvert and love travelling alone and recharging. It takes a lot of energy to support everyone. What an inspiring and amazing story. Keep on shining queen. Hopefully you win a slam this year.

Hi from France, I have always been a fan since day one, when her pro career just started after college graduation. I loved her energy and her charisma since day one, and she went on to have the fabulous career I wished for her. So happy she accomplished her destiny and her potential. I really love her. Plus she is really intelligent and a good person. She is fiery and passionate and exciting to watch. Crazily talented. I always knew she was gonna be a superstar of tennis if she could reach her potential. She was already incredibly strong at the very start of her pro career. Already amazing results. I was hoping so many positive things for her.

I love Danielle on the court and off too. She’s my favorite player right now and I hope she wins some more tournament’s this year. 😊

Great interview Andy! Love Danielle! Hopefully she can win a few more titles before she retires.

Thanks for doing these shows. I am a fan from long ago to your US Open championship & your Davis Cup championship with James Blake and the Bryan Brothers. Danielle is a great story, and I have been a fan of her since her University of Virginia days. This was a great interview.

Quick(ish) Danimal story-back when I was in college, I followed the top DI programs wayyy too closely. I have Eric Quigley merch, to give you an idea how into the weeds I got. I was watching the 2014 NCAAs, and the broadcast would jump between the men’s and women’s matches. I had seen some of Giron’s matches on RU-vid already, but it was my first time seeing Danielle play. I can’t tell you how much fun it was to watch her absolutely crush return after return. It was like sanctioned bullying on a tennis court. I was actually laughing at how hard she was smoking some of those balls. I’d love to say I knew she’d be successful on tour. It was obvious she had a chance and could beat anyone on her day, but you never know what’ll happen after the jump. For every top college player who makes it, plenty don’t. So congrats to her for getting to this point; hopefully that mid-June deadline works in her favor! She was also the only player who followed me back on Twitter back then, so she’s always had bonus points in my book 😂

Part timer tennis fan and only recently discovered Danielle the Danimal. I was instantly smitten and a big fan and suddenly she’s retiring. I’ll miss her. You go gal and certainly will go far. Thanks for such a great show and exit!

Great talk with Danimal Collins, thanks for this 👍 ❤. She has achieved great things with the physical problems she has suffered with. Shes an amazing player and will be missed on tour. Id love to see Daria Kasatkina on your podcast though. Love Dasha 😍😍

I have a new found respect for Danielle. What a well rounded young lady, her parents have done a great job with her to keep her humble and grounded.

I have been following Danielle Collins for a few years now. What struck me about her is her fighting spirit; an unflinching enthusiasm that is extremely contagious! Best wishes for the future.

Danielle has been my favorite WTA player for about 5 years. It’s sucked that a lot of her matches weren’t televised for a while but it’s been great for a year or so. Her recent success has been a big bonus. She is very open and honest unlike most players. I think tennis players like me really appreciate the way she goes about her business on the court. She always battling and fun to watch. How can you not love her?

That was great!! She is my absolute favorite ❤️. Such a joy to watch and a lot less stressful to watch than Jesica 😂😂!

Hands down my fave wta player. Go Danimal!!!

What a mind. Hope she wins additional tournaments this year and has success in tennis afterlife.

I would love to have seen Danielle win a major, but the way her career is ending is spectacular… Wishing her all the best!

Did not know what to think of her before, but I have to say now I quite like her. Thanks for bringing her on.

Love these insights. Danielle is very vocal and She's a great example of tenacity and self belief and her tennis is mind blowing. I'm a fan!!

She is just lovely, and a great tennis player.

Excellente Interview!!!! Bravo!!!!!!!!!

Great interview! Wish we could have Danielle for longer but she has made quite a mark. Such a likable person. Definitely one of my favorite WTA players.

Danielle is genuine. I like her.

Collins ❤❤❤ She has been playing amazing!

Love andy and danni. Great interview. That was cute her fangirling him

Wonderful interview...great to see this side of Danielle. Best wishes to a future of love and kids.

Well, Andy has a great voice, and I’m shocked he’s not on TV more. As far as Daniel goes, I have been in love with her for years and so good to see her in this interview.

Danimal……thanks for the interview Andy, she’s so dope💪🏾👏🏽🌺🎾

She I ssh humble. I hope she wins more this year.

The slogan for the Olipop pinned up on the board is a good one for this channel. Also, the picture of Steve-O right below it is gold. Great interview!

Very cool interview, thanks for bring Danielle Collins to the show. Keep the doing the good stuff guys!

Awesome interview

Wow! Never thought she would be this pleasant in an interview

My 2-hand backhand was inspired by Danielle. I've watched it over and over again. Now, burned into my mind.

Collins is awesome. My favorite ❤❤❤

Happy to discover a new Collins!

" Danielle Collins " I love her freedom of expression. and playing in her games 💪🏻

People that dislike Danielle are a bunch of softs tbh. She's great, good player and personality

I will be sad if Danielle doesn't win the US Open this year, but glad she has had such a nice year and career. She rules.

Tennis fans just see a tiny part of the players' life, they shouldn't juge their personality based on what they see on the court - Honestly, I don't really like when Danielle celebrates so loudly a point she wins, but I totally understand that players are filled with adrenaline and emotions, they want to win so badly, they train so hard for that, I just get it, it's OK - And I admire the efforts and the achievements Danielle has done recently ! I think (might be wrong) that the announcement of her retirement has kind of made her playing freely, and her talent shows up ! I'm glad for her, because it's a good thing to retire when you are on top ! I wish her the best for the future ☺

Great interview Andy!!! I’m a huge fan of you bro and the Dannable!!!! Greetings from Birmingham 😎

This is a great interview!. You come across completely differently than on the court. So happy to see you so relaxed and inspiring. Good luck for you! You said this would be your last year. Okay! But what a shame. Enjoy life!

Great interview!

Danielle is beautiful woman..😍

I remember first seeing her on the practice courts at Indian Wells in 2017. Knew she would make it !! Great career Danielle

Love her, she is so down to earth, def my fav on tour

A great interview, really interesting, great insights.

I love your show! Can you please give me a radio edit podcast? I like to listen in the car, but it's tough to explain to my 10yr. old why he says "F*" so much. Great interview!

All the top tennis players are unbelievable warriors. Normal people don't have a clue!

Danielle is not disrespectful in the way Ostapenko is, fiery passion is exciting

I can't believe how different she is from her on-court personality. lol. Great interview guys.

As a small business owner, DC keeps her overhead low. Good for her!

Collins is a true woman amongst girls

Please Andy, a short video for your reactions and thoughts on the Nadal draw at RG

Love Danielle and respect her for playing college tennis.

Wow, I didn't realize there are still top-players who get there without a whole professional team around them! Makes me respect Danielle even more.

Danielle’s just the best! I really hope she can win a grand slam her last year but it will be tough to get past Iga.

Loved it. Humble too!

Such a great interview!

Danielle persona is mis aligned by all of us who watch her on a court. She’s killer much like Iga but this interview shows a completely different side and shows her engaging, thoughtful and articulate.

I think i love her, she seems like such a beeeach on the court

Enjoy the next chapter in your life . We all enjoyed watching you play. You are a great tennis player. Enjoy your retirement and your family.

Roddick is getting good at podcasting. He's competitive.

We love Danielle 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Great respect for DC; she played successfully in four years in college at a stellar university, UVA, and had an excellent pro career. She should have many options in the future.

Great interview.

I love this womans attitude haha

Good looking bird on and off the court.

I like this one.

OMFG I truly love Danielle Collins, now more than ever. Wonderful personality!!!

I love Andy's interviews (and Jim's and Laura's for that matter) because they know the tennis game intimately and the pressures that must be overcome to be a successful player and person. Also love how Dannimal has surfaced in recent years through channeling her anger in the right way (aka winning).

Daniele the greatest would be you are in WTA finals !! You are such a character ❤ one of the unique players on tour

Very cool. Im totes into Danimal!!!!! I watched her match live last year at the OPEN....that was womp womp. But this current form is fantastic! Reminds me a bit of Lindsey Davenport too & also Seles, just swat the ball away from good court positioning. Wishing Daminal the best for the rest of this season!

Her talking about bantering with the local 5.0 men at park made me think- there is a place for Danielle in pro pickleball after she’s done with tennis! 😂

Danielle to win Wimbledon 2024!

It would be amazing if Danielle wins a slam this year. Stay healthy.

Adorable!

When we were watching Danielle's match on Tennis Talk with Cam Williams one of the guys in the know who has been there for over two years called her Denise by mistake and it STUCK!! and EVERYONE was like Go Denise!!! You guys should start getting people on that Czat (polish spelling) because he's got 191 000 subscribers and things are happening and the sport is learning about It afterwards!!! Blessss..........

I love that she beat Iga!! Great summer girl!! Get them babies and come back!!

i am waiting for an interview with Simona Halep!!

I have always respected players like Collins or Cornet who play with their hearts on their sleeves. It's a completely different attitude than Ostapenko or Putintseva who are real antagonists (euphemism lol)

I love her ❤

I was hoping to see her in the Italian open finals. She played so good against Sabalinka, but missed the last set.

go danielle

It would be great later this year if you can get Federer on your show, especially at the year-end tournament of just the top eight players.

Fabio Fognini is that kind o people...mad and arrogant on court, so humble and lay-back in private life.

beautiful person!!!
