Previously Collins has had her issues when it comes to Swiatek accusing her of fakeness in regards to her injury and comes on a day in which Swiatek also got into controversy for her own cold handshake against Coco Gauff.

“I told Iga she didn't have to be insincere about my injury,” Collins recalled after her own incident at the Olympic Games where she retired injured and found herself in a heated conversation with the then World No.1. “There's a lot that happens on camera, and there are a lot of people with a ton of charisma and come out and are one way on camera and another way in the locker room.

“I just haven't had the best experience, and I don't really feel like anybody needs to be insincere. They can be the way that they are. I can accept that, and I don't need the fakeness.”
