DANIELLE COLLINS - Full Interview

[@kylecurryyt]

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

[@Rbksmn]

She's smart and funny. A true character 🙂

[@gregoryphillips3969]

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

[@jovemarks855]

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.

[@ER_aka_RAM]

You shouldn’t be making assumptions about anyone you don’t know, especially a professional athlete under a microscope each time they enter their domain.

[@BPDBRETT]

If you only watch a player on court it is difficult to get the whole person. McEnroe was the absolute maniac asshole on the court yet is super nice off the court. Tennis is a frustrating sport because your game can just fall apart on some days.

[@ER_aka_RAM]

@@BPDBRETT Absolutely… but that’s why we can’t gauge them solely from on court personality. You hit it on the head in your closing statement… ain’t that the truth!

[@justinhester4529]

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

[@sk-wh6bx]

No. Her true self comes out on the court. Just like the true self when drinking alcohol comes out. She's a bitch big time.

[@markbuckholz3184]

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.

[@miguelangelcolon1345]

Hi, i didnt realize he was Roddick until see you commet.thanks.

[@BPDBRETT]

I saw play when he was 16 at the tournament they used to have at UCLA. I was heartbroken watching those losses to Federer. Andy never got bitter about it. I think Andy and Danielle have similar personalities.

[@dialindsey]

Dear Tennis Channel, We love Danielle Collins :))

[@bmill7353]

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!

[@tomasbarsvary938]

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

[@warrenguy76]

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!

[@Lt_Tragg]

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!

[@KCNwokoye]

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.

[@kenkeneth4964]

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

[@slc2466]

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!

[@bungh0LeO]

Yeah yeah, that's what the stalkers always say. Lmao

[@figo7ronaldo]

😂😂😂​@@bungh0LeO

[@mamam9497]

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

[@10shxf]

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 😍😍

[@Alia-to6gs]

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.

[@erickent4248]

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.

[@SuperMatyoO]

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.

[@gabriellablue7347]

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. 😊

[@miguelcunanan9855]

I learned so much about her in this podcast. I am guilty of misjudging her based on what I saw on court. But wow she's someone that is wholesome to hang out with--let alone inspiring!

[@kamalakantanieves5371]

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.

[@gregorymather8163]

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.

[@figo7ronaldo]

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

[@BPDBRETT]

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?

[@rakeshgandhi6039]

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.

[@Arkayzy]

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 KZbin 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 😂

[@adzix87]

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

[@peterpanagopoulos6698]

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

[@jonwzee]

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

[@nicksterp2805]

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

[@alonzobishop3671]

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

[@anthonygiles8941]

not too late

[@letmetellyousomething123]

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!!

[@jamievidd775]

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.

[@vincentd312]

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.

[@pauls5096]

I recently renewed my interest in tennis after many years not following the sport. In this time, I have become a fan of Danielle's and wish she wasn't retiring but I wish her nothing but the best. Would love to see her get a major at Roland Garros.

[@pjwillsr]

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

[@vubot1]

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

[@danielspatzinterviews5497]

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

[@HEVICO316]

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

[@bradleybrazington385]

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

[@1114gabby]

Love Danielle and respect her for playing college tennis.

[@talisha5863]

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

[@mikebaker9574]

I'm a fan for sure!

[@samuelcrenshaw7405]

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

[@magdalenaszymaniak3167]

Loving this interview! Danielle is amazing

[@lagreg2183]

Happy to discover a new Collins!

[@esce69]

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.

[@khale4nia]

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

[@grzegorzkrajewski3487]

Awesome interview

[@bungh0LeO]

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!

[@sugarfreejello]

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

[@heathreeves6327]

Collins is awesome. My favorite ❤❤❤

[@geneokeefe]

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!

[@jaimechatkin9565]

Danielle is genuine. I like her.

[@nicholabrown11]

A great interview, really interesting, great insights.

[@zinesand3799]

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

[@NakedEyes-lm3bj]

Collins ❤❤❤ She has been playing amazing!

[@jcarter8765]

Great interview!

[@angies7906]

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

[@davidbarnett4246]

I seen her at the us open practicing during the qualifying week. She is gorgeous

[@dk7295]

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!

[@Dot_Nation]

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

[@ckn711]

Such a great interview!

[@ariurip3751]

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

[@barrypatterson1154]

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.

[@saxmanphd]

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

[@GEUB]

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

[@alnath01]

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 ☺

[@hangarby10]

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.

[@maggieotton1547]

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.

[@TheSolutionsScoop-CSI]

Loved it. Humble too!

[@Autism101]

Great interview.

[@stevenstone307]

I love this womans attitude haha

[@andreacastillo6602]

We love Danielle 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@BronnyJamesBricks]

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

[@miroslawbala117]

Ostapenko; terrible person:(!

[@carloslaguna8581]

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

[@LuisPerez-hu5sn]

i am waiting for an interview with Simona Halep!!

[@blastesz]

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..........

[@williambennetts9348]

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.

[@robrivax]

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!

[@tinuthomas19]

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

[@cocoablini]

Collins is a true woman amongst girls

[@Jolanda476]

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

[@hobbes4583]

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

[@2smoulder]

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).

[@UNCLETQB]

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

[@brentisverycool]

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! 😂

[@olafsrensen9578]

After Her "performance" in Sidney people will come in tenfold to her matches .She is an incredible player and her intensety will make her even more popular .Bedst to Collins from Demnark and plus point for her actor skills !.

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

Danielle is beautiful woman..😍

[@australianhorseracingtips]

At 8 mins odd when u discuss the run in Miami this year is exactly what we felt nationally down under for Danielle in her semi-final run initially in 2019, she was the "It" girl in Australian media then go 1 step deeper in 2022 and make the final! What she accomplished in 2019 drove her to 2022....with Danielle she has this inept ability to continuously find another level...she leaves it all on the court!

[@gregorymather8163]

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.

[@qica1272]

Please tell Collins not to retire so soon because Collins has been playing super good tennis since last year;it’s kinda different ranking moments from others: it’s normal!!! Collins def can win grand slam high chances!!! Breaking in Top 10 is just few months away for 👍 sure! Have Andy guide you some secrets please 🙏 ! Don’t retire so soon ! We love you ❤‼️✨

[@AgathaBlanco]

Don't let her retire!

[@stockton350]

I like this one.

[@ms.ronaldmonroe8779]

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

[@Pallyy5]

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

[@imranetic]

There are people who dislike her? Why???

[@ch.kv.]

When are we getting the Andy Roddick & Cam Williams cameo that tennis internet is waiting for?

[@georgemelech8846]

Andy - can you tell me (us) who was instrumental in the development of your serve? I ran into someone that said he was, and I've never heard of him. Let me know. Thanks.

[@roseandrade2114]

I am so upset that Danielle is retiring. Always enjoy watching her, she has a great game.

[@VintageSecure]

Many tennis players Last Dance, hope to get Danielle's signature at us open
